Colby Lake, Windwood Roadwork Nearly Complete in Woodbury

The Woodbury City Council on Wednesday got an update on the big construction projects around town.

The roadwork in Woodbury’s Colby Lake and Windwood neighborhoods is winding down.

Construction is expected to be complete by the end of next week, Public Works Director David Jessup said during Wednesday night’s Woodbury City Council meeting.

There are some “punch-list items,” mostly related to landscaping, left to complete, but the roads should be functioning normally within the next week or so, he said.

Councilwoman Amy Scoggins said intersections without four-way access—notably Tower Drive and Interlachen Parkway—should have better signage to alert motorists that they can’t get through.

Mayor Mary Giuliani Stephens also said the city should work with affected businesses on signage and detour information.

Jessup said he would bring up signage with the construction crews.

Meanwhile, Councilman Paul Rebholz said that considering the lack of rain of late, “I was hoping that we’d be ahead of schedule on this project.”
