Road closure set for Edwardsville’s Esic Drive between Center Grove Road, Governors’ Parkway

A section of Esic Drive between Center Grove Road and Governors’ Parkway in Edwardsville will be closed to all traffic beginning Monday, July 20, while concrete pavement patching is underway.

This closure is expected to remain in effect through Friday, July 31.

All primary entrances and exits will remain open and accessible to the apartment buildings on this portion of Esic Drive during the improvement project.

The Esic Drive entrance to the Metro East Lutheran High School athletic fields also will be maintained.

However, no through traffic will be allowed between the north and south end of this section of Esic Drive for the duration of the work.

Construction will take place during the daytime hours Monday through Friday; the work schedule is weather-dependent.

Notices have been distributed to residents in the area; all others who travel this section of Esic Drive will need to take an alternate route.

The City of Edwardsville has contracted with RCS Construction Inc. of East Alton for this project.
