Jersey Avenue to close for about five days starting Dec. 8 for railroad-related work
Summary
A segment of Jersey Avenue Southeast (Bridal Drive to 3rd Street) will be closed beginning Dec. 8 for approximately five days for construction tied to railroad permitting; detour via White Wolf Drive and message boards will be used.
City staff announced a planned closure of Jersey Avenue Southeast from Bridal Drive to 3rd Street beginning Monday, Dec. 8, 2025, for work within the railroad right-of-way. The closure is expected to last about five days, with an anticipated reopening on Friday, Dec. 12, though staff warned that poor weather could delay concrete pours and push the reopening to midweek next week.
City engineer Brett Runge explained the closure stems from railroad permitting delays and the need to complete work that will prevent winter deterioration (potholes). Drivers were advised to use White Wolf Drive as the detour; a message board has been placed to assist with traffic direction.
Staff asked residents to plan alternate routes during the closure; the item was informational and required no formal action beyond the notice.
