Madison Gas and Electric Company must install a high-pressure gas main
this fall to insure all parts of their service area have adequate
natural gas for this winter's heating season. This will require crews to
close the Military Ridge Path just south of Sprocket Dr in Fitchburg
(between the bicycle roundabout and the McKee Rd bridge), beginning
tomorrow morning (Friday Nov. 4).
The closure is expected to run through Saturday, but is weather
dependent. (The weather looks terrific for construction!) However, the
required detour is *very minor*. There will be two, related closures
during this period. Details follow.
When the main line path is closed, both access ramps will be open. Go up
the near access ramp, cross over the path on Sprocket Dr, and go down
the other access ramp. See http://fitchburg.wi.us/fitchburg/photo1.jpg
to see the project area and required short detour.
When the south access ramp is closed, the main line path will be open.
To get between Sprocket Dr and the path, use the north access ramp only,
crossing under Sprocket Dr if necessary. See
http://fitchburg.wi.us/fitchburg/photo2.jpg.
We apologize for the short notice and the additional hill! The City of
Fitchburg and MG&E are working together to install this critical gas
main with a minimum inconvenience to Military Ridge Path users, and we
thank you for your patience.
Commuters: The path will not close before 8:30 a.m., so you may only
need the detour Friday afternoon.
