Residents and commuters in Langley Township should prepare for a major traffic change this spring as a section of Old Yale Road, between the 21100 Block and 214A Street, is scheduled to be closed to all vehicle traffic from April 22 through August 29, 2025.

The closure is part of a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade project aimed at improving underground utilities, road surface quality, and drainage in the area. According to Township officials, the project is necessary to support long-term growth and ensure reliable services for the community.

“This work is essential to modernize aging infrastructure and maintain safe and efficient roadways,” said a Township engineering representative. “We understand the inconvenience it may cause and appreciate the public’s patience as we complete these important improvements.”

A detour route will be clearly marked with signage, rerouting traffic around the closure zone. Drivers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for their commutes, especially during peak hours. Local access for residents, emergency services, and service vehicles will be maintained as needed throughout the construction period.

Pedestrian and cyclist access may also be restricted at times, depending on the stage of the construction, and updates will be provided through the Township’s website and social media channels.

The work is expected to be completed by the end of August, with the road fully reopened before the fall school season. In the meantime, drivers are encouraged to follow posted detour signage and check for updates to avoid delays.

This temporary closure marks another step in Langley’s ongoing efforts to maintain safe and reliable infrastructure as the community continues to grow.
