Update on Moulton Widening Project

Phase II of Moulton Widening extends from the bus stop just north of El Toro Road to Santa Maria along Moulton Parkway.  The construction for the project is being overseen by the County of Orange.  The Contractor has almost completed Phase 1 of the project along the center of the roadway.  The Contractor is going to start Phase 2 work on the east side of the road along the golf course up to the Garden Center.  There will be the following traffic closures until mid-June 2013 along Moulton Parkway:

• Southbound #1 lane along the median will remain closed 24 hours

• Northbound #3 lane along the golf course 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Phase II work over the next month will include fence installation in the golf course at the temporary construction easement, clearing and grubbing, tree removal and demo.  Further details on the phasing and areas of impact will be available once the Contractor’s schedule is finalized.

Updates on the project will be posted at www.lagunawoodsvillage.com>Resident Links>Community News and on the City of Laguna Woods website.
