Upcoming Village of Matteson Project Near Sieden Prairie Elementary School

Dear Seiden Prairie Families and Staff,

 

We are reaching out to inform you of an upcoming Village of Matteson project that may impact transportation near Sieden Prairie Elementary School. The Central Avenue Bridge which spans Butterfield Creek, will undergo structural repairs requiring a full closure. The detour will be in place starting Thursday, November 7th, and work will begin on Friday, November 8th. The project, which includes removal and replacement of the bridge, is expected to last approximately 30 days.

 

Detour Route and Access to Sieden Prairie Elementary:

  • During the closure, the designated detour route will direct traffic through Georgetown, and Notre Dame accessible via Harvard Lane and Purdue Lane.

  • This route could possibly impact bus routes as well as parent drop-off and pick-up traffic for Sieden Prairie Elementary.

 

Recommendations for Parents and Bus Drives:

 We recommend sharing this update with parents and adjusting bus schedules as needed to account for potential delays during peak travel times. We know this may cause some inconvenience and slow traffic. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
