Hinckley Highlights

Celebrating New Logo

The Hinckley Convention & Visitors Bureau is excited to show our newly redesigned logo, which beautifully captures the essence of our unique history and scenic charm. The updated logo importantly features an iconic train and lush trees, symbolizing both the historic Great Hinckley Fire, our town's logging heritage and the vibrant natural beauty of our area.

Traffic impacts

In 2024 and 2025, traffic will be single-lane head-to-head in the project area with ramp detours. Work is expected to begin in mid-May- October. Motorists should expect delays, especially during peak weekend travel times.
