Fairfield is rebuilding the 47-foot Commerce Drive bridge over Ash Creek. Jonathan Mullen, Fairfield’s assistant planning director, said traffic detours have been set up and traffic will be restricted to one-way in the eastbound direction for the project’s duration. He said demolition will begin over the coming weeks. Troy Deering, construction project manager, advises drivers to be cautious of the detour for their safety. “We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but it’s for everyone’s personal safety to obey the detour plans,” he said. The project was fully funded with a nearly $4.5 million grant from the state’s Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program under the Department of Transportation. The project is expected to be completed by fall 2027, but Deering hopes it can be completed sooner.
