While the CSAH 2 & 91 intersection is closed, an official detour route has been established and signed by Scott County. The official detour is included in the attached image. Despite being signed, drivers (especially area residents) may bypass the official detour and use residential neighborhoods as a shortcut. While the City cannot prohibit the use of residential neighborhoods as shortcuts, we can encourage use of the official detour and safe driving habits. Strategies demonstrated to limit traffic and promote safe driving have been implemented to address the potential for increased traffic and speeds through these neighborhoods.
