Plan ahead for a week-long full Battle Creek Road closure

Starting at 6 a.m. on June 1, Battle Creek Road will close near the old bridge while crews connect the road to the new bridge.

Expect a signed detour in place for all vehicles. Battle Creek Road will close at:

Landau Street – travelers can take Landau Street to Fabry Road, then Commercial Street. From there, go south to Delaney Road or north to Kuebler Boulevard, depending on your destination.
Battle Creek Road/Delaney Road – travelers can use Delaney Road to get to I-5.

Local residents: During the closure, you'll need to take either Landau Street or Battle Creek Road to access the side of the bridge you live on.

We plan to reopen Battle Creek Road by 6 a.m. on June 8.

When Battle Creek Road reopens, we'll reopen Wiltsey Street. Traffic will use the new bridge and roundabout.

Our schedule may change. Please visit TripCheck.com for the most up-to-date information on impacts.

If you're traveling through the area now, you can expect:

A 55 mph speed limit in the I-5 work zone.
Crews working during the day and at night.
Lane, shoulder and ramp closures as needed.
Trucks coming in and out of the work site.
Debris, dust, construction noise and potential delays.

Please use caution and watch for workers.
