At long last Sandridge Road re-opened at Henley Road

LAKE ASBURY – After two months of frustrating delays and detours, Sandridge Road was re-opened last Sunday night at 11 at Henley Road, ending one of the worst traffic headaches for residents. Construction crews spent two months widening Sandridge from Henley to Lake Asbury Elementary to three lanes and adding a median. Barricades at Eagle Haven Drive and Jubilee Lane at Sandridge also were taken down. The re-opening couldn’t come soon enough for thousands of residents along Sandridge who had to drive as many as 27 miles roundtrip in what now takes a minute. With traffic moving again, the crews started work on additional expansion on Sandridge from the elementary school to Russell Baptist Church. But unlike the closure at Henley Road, there are no planned shutdowns for that project.
