Prizes are offered to visiting businesses near the closed Hudson Bridge

Although the Highway 91 bridge is closed until the end of July, businesses and restaurants in the area are still open.

On July 8, Highway 91 between Veterans Way and Ravenna Street was closed for 16 days to repair the crumbling bridge over Brandywine Creek. The detour will be from Terex Road to Highway 303 to Highway 91. Pedestrians and cyclists will be detoured from Veterans Way to Milford Drive to Highway 303. Also during the 16-day closure, southbound Atterbury Boulevard at W. Streetsboro Street will be closed to help alleviate congestion at the intersection of Atterbury Boulevard, W. Streetsboro Road and Milford Road. Traffic on southbound Atterbury Boulevard will be detoured to the intersection of Stratford Rd. and Boston Mills Rd.

Additionally, the timing of traffic lights at the following four intersections will be changed to improve traffic flow during the road closure:

W. Streetsboro Road (Route 303) and Atterbury Boulevard/Milford Road.
W. Streetsboro Road (Route 303) and N. Main Street (Route 91).
W. Streetsboro Road (Route 303) and Library Street.
S. Main Street (Route 91) and Veterans Way.

Residents can win prizes through the Detour Passport program

Residents shopping at Evaporator Works, dining at Yours Truly Restaurant, and visiting other businesses during the construction should follow detour signs. Evaporator Works businesses can be accessed through the Ravenna Street entrance. Businesses located along Highway 91 near Yours Truly Restaurant and Starbucks will also remain accessible during the closure.

During the 16-day closure of Highway 91, businesses impacted by the detours will participate in a Detour Passport program. Individuals who visit at least three businesses listed on the passport during the road closure can turn in their passport for a chance to win raffle prizes. Passports can be obtained and turned in at any participating business near the road closure. The program will run through Thursday, July 25.
