UPDATE: RECONSTRUCTION OF
MILWAUKEE STREET BRIDGE AT STARKWEATHER CREEK AND
MILWAUKEE STREET AND FAIR OAKS AVENUE INTERSECTION
Speedway Sand & Gravel will begin reconstruction of the Milwaukee Street Bridge
over the Starkweather Creek and the Milwaukee Street and Fair Oaks Avenue
intersection on Wednesday, July 15th. The project is expected to last until
early November.
Milwaukee Street east of Fair Oaks Avenue and the bridge will be closed
starting July 28th and will be closed for the duration of the project. A signed
detour will be provided.
Milwaukee Street west of Fair Oaks Avenue and the intersection will be phased
to maintain one lane of traffic. Access will be maintained to driveways unless
work is directly in front of the driveway.
In addition, there will be some other minor lane closures at the intersection:
* July 16th to July 20th: Southbound lanes on Fair Oaks Avenue between
Wells Avenue and Milwaukee Street will be closed
* July 21th to July 27th: Westbound lanes on Milwaukee Street between Fair
Oaks Avenue and Powers Avenue will be closed
Travel delays are expected during the morning and afternoon rush hours.
Motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes.
The project includes replacing the bridge, reconstructing the intersection, and
improving underground utilities, lighting and traffic signals. Additional
information about the project can be found on the City's Engineering Projects
