River Road is planned to be closed near the railroad bridge starting Monday, February 23, 2026 and lasting about two weeks. The purpose of the closure is for preparation work and overhead beam installation for the new railroad bridge. An official detour route will not be provided. However, depending on where you’re trying to get, Burnt Boat Drive and Fraine Barracks Road can be used as detour routes.
