Schilling Road, from Whitmore Road to Kipp Road will be closed starting Monday, April 11th, for the replacement of the existing bridge over West Gypsum Creek located on the eastern edge of the Town of Kipp. The contractor anticipates completing the bridge by August 24, 2011. Of course, completion is dependent on unforeseen conditions such as adverse weather.

No through traffic will be possible during the construction period and motorists are advised to allow a few extra minutes of travel time to reach their destinations. Local and emergency traffic will be provided access to private property within the sections of closed road at all times but only from the sides of West Gypsum Creek upon which the property lies. The only times these properties may not be accessible might be during possible critical stages of construction when it is impractical to carry on construction operations and simultaneously allow local traffic.
