Phase one of the Ridge Road improvements from Manning Drive to Stadium Drive are scheduled to begin on Thursday, June 9.

During phase one, the road improvements are expected to take about four weeks and include a new gutter, curb and sidewalk enhancements.

There will be short term lane closures and narrowing of travel lanes during this phase.

Phase two begins after July 5 and includes the reconstruction of asphalt, adding lanes for bicycles and new crosswalks.

Ridge Road will be closed during this phase and through traffic will be detoured to Stadium Drive and South Road.

This is one of several projects slated to be completed during the summer months around Chapel Hill.
