Do you mean 68th Street? If so, this is to complete the roads to what will eventually be the permanent solution, which is the complete closure of 68th Street. 60th Street replaces it. I believe that 68th Street will become a bike path, as it has become further south where the road has already been closed.
For people up in Saddlebrook/Saddlecrest, it's further around, but for everyone south of 88th Ave, it's much better, than having to drive through Saddlecrest.
I imagine that 68th Street between 80th and Saddlecrest Blvd will be closed shortly after Saddlebrook Drive is complete all the way south through Saddlestone to 80th Ave. They need to remove 68th street to properly finish the school field, and to connect Saddlemont Blvd through into Saddlestone.
