News from the Highway Commissioner
Bradley Road Bridge Update:
The Bradley Road Bridge is currently closed for removal and reconstruction. A detour is posted directing Bradley Road traffic to Rockland Road (Illinois Route 176), St. Mary’s Road and Town Line Road.
Bridge reconstruction is currently scheduled to be substantially complete by the end of the year; however this work is dependent on weather conditions and material suppliers. As such, there is a possibility the bridge closure will continue into 2019. All work associated with the project is currently scheduled to be complete in spring 2019.
