Hampton Village Traffic Flowing: Claypool Drive Open

The $3.7 million twinning of Claypool Drive is complete. There are now two lanes of divided traffic on Claypool Drive from Airport Drive to Hampton Gate North.

“We’re very happy to have this project completed on time, safely and on budget,” says Jeff Jorgenson, General Manager of Transportation and Utilities. “Drivers, in particular those accessing Hampton Village, will now enjoy less congestion and better access through Claypool Drive, which will serve as a main arterial road.”

The intersection at McClocklin Road and Claypool Drive has also been upgraded to include turning bays and traffic signals. This work was done to improve traffic flow in and out of Hampton Village as the area has quickly grown to more than 7,200 residents.

The project also includes upgrading from a ditch drainage system to a storm system drainage system.

“With our focus on building better roads, this completed Claypool Drive project is a great example of the progress we are making during this busy construction season,” Jorgenson says. Although work is complete, residents may see City crews working at times on landscaping and traffic signal work on Claypool Drive.

The City would like to thank residents for obeying work zone signage throughout the duration of the project. For everyone’s safety please continue to obey all detours, signs and barriers around projects across the City.
