The roadway has been repaired and the corridor is back open. We sincerely appreciate the property owner's cooperation. Thank you!

ORIGINAL POST FEB. 11:

The City of Newcastle was recently informed that a portion of the privately-owned access road adjacent to Coal Creek Marketplace is currently blocked to public access. Hansen Bros. Moving & Storage, which owns the road, closed it due to damage on the roadway, and with the speeds people travel through that area, they are concerned about the potential liability of public use at the moment.

While many people assumed this is a publicly-owned street, the entire stretch between Coal Creek Parkway and 132nd Place Southeast is actually private and the property owner graciously allows public usage. The City is aware that the closure results in an additional volume of outbound left turns onto Coal Creek Parkway from Coal Creek Marketplace. We are working with the property owners to come up with a viable solution for all.

In the meantime, those who feel uncomfortable making a left turn onto Coal Creek Parkway from that road, can instead turn right onto Coal Creek Parkway, then right again at the light on Newcastle Commons Drive. Drive past the shops then take another right to get back on 132nd Place Southeast.
