The Hill Road Bridge over the North Branch Nippersink
Creek just east of the Village of Richmond in Richmond Township, which was
closed in January of this year, will remain closed through the Spring/Summer of
2013. The closure was due to a loss of structural integrity of several bridge
deck beams and significant pile deterioration.
The bridge was originally scheduled for construction
to take place during the summer of 2012 to replace the bridge. While the
design was completed and bids opened by the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT), contract procurement issues encountered by IDOT have
necessitated in the project needing to be re-bid.
Local residents are advised to continue to use US 12/
IL 31 south to U.S. 12 east to North Solon Road then north as the posted detour
route.
The Hill Road Bridge is located east of Richmond
village limits east of the public library. Hill Road has its western terminus
at US 12/IL 31 and its eastern terminus at North Solon Road. Please see the
attached location map.
