Intersection of Brick Road and Fir Road Closure

We have been notified by St. Joseph County that starting on Tuesday, September 5 (the first day back after the Labor Day recess day) the intersection of Brick Road and Fir Road will be closed to construct a roundabout. The intersection will be closed for approximately two months. Brick Road will be closed from Gumwood Road to S. R. 23 and Fir Road will be closed from S. R. 23 to Adams Road.

If you have been routed to use P-H-M bus transportation this school year but have instead been driving your child to and from school, you may want to have your child ride the bus during this heavy construction period. Any decrease in traffic to the area will obviously help alleviate  traffic flow.

Detour Route provided by the County:

• Northbound traffic on Fir Rd. will be directed east on S.R. 23, north on Elm Rd., west on Adams Rd., then return north on to Fir Rd.

• Southbound traffic on Fir Rd. / Clover Rd. will be directed west on Adams Rd., south on Gumwood Rd., east on S.R. 23, then return south on Fir Rd.

• Eastbound traffic on Brick Rd. will be directed south on Gumwood Rd., east on S.R. 23, then return back to Brick Rd.

• Westbound traffic on Brick Rd. will be directed east on S.R. 23, north on Elm Rd., west on Adams Rd., south on Gumwood Rd., then back on Brick Rd.
