A $1.3 million bridge project will force the closure of the 209th Street Carrigan Bridge to vehicle traffic and will include the waterway below the bridge to close to boat traffic. Construction on the project is scheduled to begin Monday, March 1.

The roadway is expected to be closed through May 29, and the waterway beneath the bridge is expected to be open no later than April 17. During the closure, local traffic should use the signed detour route of Little Chicago Road, State Road 38, and Hague Road.

Property owners will continue to have access to their properties through the construction area.
