Stockdale Park Road map
A bridge about 1 mile east of Tuttle Creek Boulevard in Northern Riley County is closed indefinitely, according to a release from Riley County Public Works. This is due to safety issues and concerns about the structural integrity of the bridge, which will need extensive work done to get it back to a useable state.
The Stockdale Park Road bridge over Mill Creek – located in Grant Township – has sustained critical concrete section loss in its deck. Photos released by the department show that enough concrete has been lost that re-bar is showing in some sections. This is the level of damage that will need bridge repair contractors to come in to fix, as well as full structural assesment to see if any other works need doing across the board.
Officials recommend any motorists use alternate routes for the time being, and will advise further when they have an idea of how long full repairs will take. At this point it is not known if the bridge is fully salvageable, or if a new structure may have to be brought in and constructed for public use. Until this is known there can be no estimate for how long this redirection will have to continue, but it is hoped this can be resolved as soon as possible to prevent traffic buildup and congestion around the area.
