W. Red Bank Avenue closure set for Inspira Sky-Bridge removal in Woodbury

Woodbury Police scheduled a temporary daytime closure of W. Red Bank Avenue from July 20 through July 24, 2026, while the Inspira Sky-Bridge is removed. The closure was set to run each day from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., creating a planned traffic and access change for drivers using the Woodbury road during the work period.

Police advised drivers to plan their travel and use alternate routes. The notice makes the bridge-removal work the reason for the closure, rather than identifying it as a routine traffic restriction.

What the closure means for travel

Residents, workers and commuters who normally use W. Red Bank Avenue during the scheduled hours were expected to avoid the road and allow additional time for trips. Nearby businesses and local emergency planning were also among the practical considerations identified by the advisory, although the available sources do not quantify traffic delays or document any emergency-response delay.

The Inspira Sky-Bridge is described in the source material as a prominent local hospital-access structure. The notice supports the planned road closure for its removal, but it does not establish that hospital access would be interrupted. It also does not provide details about a permanent replacement or a future access arrangement.

Notice dates and what remains unknown

Woodbury Police posted the road-closure notice July 11. The department’s public-safety updates showed the notice had been updated July 15 and continued to identify W. Red Bank Avenue as the location of the traffic advisory.

As of that July 15 update, the published schedule was July 20–24, from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily. The approved notice does not state the project’s removal cost, quantify expected delays or describe a permanent replacement plan. It also does not provide additional endpoint details beyond identifying W. Red Bank Avenue, so no further closure boundaries are included here.

The available source material does not establish whether the schedule changed after the July 15 update or whether the work was completed. For travel planning, the published direction was to avoid W. Red Bank Avenue during the daytime work window, use alternate routes and check current local traffic updates before leaving.
