Ellis Street will soon be closed between Rosemead and Buckland avenues for rehabilitation work on Mill Creek Bridge.

Work starts on Wednesday, Aug.10, and will take approximately two weeks. It will be done between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with a partial construction day on Sunday, Aug. 14.

There will be minor disruptions and detours and signage will be in place during construction. Area residents are encouraged to plan their trips and give themselves extra time to get to their destinations.

“This project is scheduled to occur during the summer for the lowest impact to fish and their habitat,” said Scott Bushell, project manager. “The necessary rehabilitation of Mill Creek Bridge will ensure the longevity of the structure as well as improve the channel capacity of Mill Creek at this structure.”
