Current and Anticipated Closures

Start Date: August 24, 2026
Anticipated Completion Date: January 2027

Beginning August 24, Main Street Bridge will undergo a partial closure affecting vehicular and pedestrian traffic as part of the Riverfront Plaza Main Street Bridge Nub Removal Project. This construction is the first step in making a permanent pedestrian connection from the Main Street Bridge to the new Riverfront Plaza.

• Southbound lanes towards the Southbank will be reduced to one lane, and the southbound pedestrian walkway will be closed for the duration of construction. Please follow posted detour signage for rerouted access and utilize the northbound pedestrian sidewalk when walking into Downtown.
• Northbound traffic will remain open with two lanes throughout the project.
