The road reconstruction, implemented to complete the realignment of Ridge Road to connect traffic onto the new bridge, is expected to last through Friday, Sept. 30.

Message boards are in place alerting motorists to the road closure and a detour route will be posted for the duration of the closure.

Motorists are being advised to anticipate traffic delays and to consider alternate routes.

Upon reopening of the roadway, work will continue to remove the existing Bridge D-32 and connecting section of Ridge Road, as well as clean-up of the affected bridge work area.

Project work is anticipated to be complete later this fall.

Ridge Road averages approximately 550 vehicles per day.
