What is being done
Crews are performing concrete repairs, deck repairs and joint resealing above and underneath the bridge surface. Crews will also be upgrading pavement markings.
Traffic Impacts
Single lane closures can be in place, Sunday through Thursday, except for Federal Holidays:
Northbound
9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
8 p.m. - 5 a.m.
Southbound
8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
6 p.m. - 5 a.m.
Since crews will be working both above and below the bridge deck, there will be times when lane closures will be installed per work zone safety regulations but motorists will not visually see workers. This is because the workers will be suspended below the bridge deck performing repairs.
