When is the sound barrier wall going to be completed on the South Parker Rd project? The Town of Parker has dramatically increased the amount of traffic and people making the road noise is unbearable. Last update was that the wall would be completed mid-December and we all see that that hasn't happened.
JC asked about 1 year agoHello, JC. Thank your for submitting your question through Let's Talk Parker. Construction on the sound barrier wall was impacted due to supply chain issues that the contractor experienced with acquiring lumber. Project construction has begun and is expected to finish by the end of January 2022.
