4-Mile Road Will Remain Closed Until August 1

Citing scheduling issues with Union Pacific Railroad, Caledonia Engineer Mike Hayek delivered the bad news Monday to trustees.

Bad news for drivers who were looking forward to driving down 4-Mile Road on the 4th of July: the street will not be open for traffic until Aug. 1, the village engineer told trustees Monday night.

The culprit, Mike Hayek, said is scheduling issues with the Union Pacific Railroad because they have to move track back and forth as the project progresses.

"I'm doing all I can to maintain the schedule but I don’t have control over the railroad," he said.

UP crews were expected May 15 to move rail from the east side of the bridge, but that date's been pushed back to June 1, which means the project completion date is now Aug. 1.
