    Next Step:  Construction

    Project Overview

    County: Monroe
    Municipality: Paradise Township
    State Route: 1006
    Local Name: Red Rock Road
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement
    MPMS Number: 79203
    Proposed Construction Start: Fall 2027
    Proposed Construction End: Fall 2028
    Last Updated: September 2025

    This project involves replacing the open grate structure carrying State Route 1006 (Red Rock Road) over Paradise Creek in Paradise Township with an adjacent box beam bridge.

    The horizontal alignment and vertical profile will not change but the bridge will be widened slightly to accommodate pedestrians and a larger water table. Signs and safety features will be upgraded. A driveway in proximity to the bridge will be relocated slightly to allow for upgraded safety features and improve sight distance. The downstream streambank will be fortified to prevent further erosion and sediment deposition will be removed from the stream. The new piers and abutments will be reoriented to align with the current predominant stream channel flow direction. 

    Traffic will be detoured during construction, but local access will be maintained to all properties along Red Rock Road. No major constructability issues are anticipated.
