Starts Jun. 13, 2024: Northern Part of Foxboro Road to Close Approximately 2 Weeks


City of Johnston officials have announced a temporary closure of a northern section of Foxboro Road to through-traffic for approximately 2 weeks.

Starting Jun. 13, 2024, the section of Foxboro Road from Nottingham Road to Chambery Boulevard will be closed to through-traffic. However, as local traffic, residents of Foxboro Road, Briargate Court, Huntingwood Court, and Heather Bow will continue to have one-lane access.

Officials say the estimated 2-week duration of the closure is dependent on weather.

In addition, a small section of Foxboro Road located just north of Huntingwood Court will be closed to ALL traffic Jun. 13-14, 2024.

The closures are required to allow workers to install new stormwater intakes and piping, part of a city effort to mitigate flooding in the area.

City workers have deployed illuminated message-signs to the area, warning of the pending closures.
