In two weeks, drivers must detour off State Route (SR) 56 between Waynesboro and Midville for 45 days. The ongoing Mill Creek bridge replacement requires this off-site trek to complete the $2.418 million job on time.
United Infrastructure Group will shut down the location six miles northeast of Midville Tuesday, June 1 and reopen Friday, July 16. The signed detour uses SR 305 and SR 24 to get back to SR 56.
This infrastructure project is upgrading an out-of-date structure built in 1926 and widened in 1960. Thirty percent of daily vehicles are large trucks, making this a strategic Burke County freight and logistics enhancement.
