Historic Dublin Development
Businesses near the construction of BriHi Square and the utility burial – the Dublin Vet Clinic, J. Liu, Modern Male, the Sisters Sweet Shoppe, and Tucci’s – remain open. Detour signs are posted in both directions along Bridge and High streets to help patrons navigate the area to these locations. When completed, BriHi Square at Bridge and High streets will continue Historic Dublin’s tradition of blending quality dining, retail and office destinations in a walkable, progressive downtown.
