ROAD CLOSURE & CONSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION
Location: Mill Street Bridge - Mill Street between River St. & Rt. 25
Estimated Project Length: Approximately Two Months
Beginning Tuesday, June 27, the Mill Street Bridge (Mill St. between River St. and Rt. 25) in the Village's downtown riverside area will close for improvements. During the project's two-month duration, the bridge will remain closed to vehicle traffic. To ensure safety, it will also remain closed to pedestrian traffic for several project phases. The Mill Street Bridge repairs include reinforcement, painting, rail improvements, and planned electrical upgrades. The project is part of the Village's capital improvement projects to provide and maintain high-quality infrastructure for the community.
Detour signage in the area will reroute traffic north towards the Ashland Bridge. Those traveling from the Village's far west (Orchard Rd.) or east (Ogden Ave.) may use Route 30 to cross the Fox River. All downtown businesses, including, but not limited to, Atrevete Confections, Gray's Mill Estate, George's Family Restaurant, and The Russ Stop Food Truck Park, will remain open during construction. We encourage residents to continue to patronize these businesses during the bridge closure.
The Village plans to reopen the bridge if scheduled contractor work allows at certain times during the project. As with any project, the Village aims to complete the work on time or ahead of schedule. The goal is to open for pedestrian traffic during Montgomery Fest and vehicle traffic shortly after.
