As of May 5, 2025, Ridge is temporarily closed to through traffic between Ashland and Broadway (with a full closure between Ardmore and Edgewater Ave) due to the ongoing $9 million sewer main replacement project. Vehicles should follow posted detour signs. Westbound #84 Peterson buses will be rerouted to Devon, while Eastbound buses will be rerouted to Foster. Local businesses will remain open during construction.
