Additional overnight ramp and lane restrictions planned this week
As a reminder, the Washington Road overpass bridge closed today. Washington Road is closed from Kepler Road to Moyer Road. The closure is expected to last through summer 2026. The signed detour utilizes Moyer, Jacksonburg and Kepler roads. The closure will allow crews to rehabilitate the bridge and add a new deck to extend its life.
