Construction Map 10-7-26

We understand that construction requires detours and many people use GPS on their phones or in their vehicles. Below is a clear summary of this week’s traffic situation and the color-coded map legend.

Map legend and instructions

  • Red: Railroad repair area — these two intersections are closed. Do not enter red areas.

  • Yellow: Open only for travel TO A LOCATION IN THE VILLAGE (local access only). If your destination is in town you may use the yellow route; otherwise avoid it.

  • Green: All open roads — use these routes for through travel and to bypass the construction.

Guidance for residents and visitors

  • If you live in town and are traveling out of town, avoid the yellow route. Use a green route to leave the village.

  • Several green detour options exist to go around the railroad work.

  • Do not travel THROUGH town via the yellow routes unless you are going to a location in the village. Through traffic is being restricted by state direction to keep the work zone safe and efficient.

  • These restrictions are intended to reduce congestion, improve safety for the construction crew, and help the project be completed more quickly.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience during the repairs. Please follow posted signage and any temporary traffic controls while work is in progress.

Change is not always easy. With change and improvements come growing pains, but the results are worth it when our village becomes a better place to live, work, and visit.

Thank you to everyone—staff, contractors, volunteers, and residents—who are working hard to make our village beautiful. Your patience, effort, and commitment make these improvements possible and strengthen our community for years to come.

Recent work — including new curbs and gutters, matching the railway tracks to the main street alignment, and completing the blacktop — will make the road look much nicer and improve safety and accessibility for all.

We also appreciate the small, everyday actions that show your care: taking the extra time to edge your property, mow the lawn with care, pick up litter, and report issues when you see them. Those details are noticed and make a meaningful difference.

Together we’re building a stronger, more welcoming Orfordville. Thank you for your continued support and pride in our village.
