Residents near the bridge can expect elevated noise levels for overnight work, including milling and paving work, heavy equipment operation and reversing alarms. The City noted that noise is expected to be louder on the night of June 16th.

During the daytime, both the bridge and the intersection will be open.

“Please plan ahead, follow posted signage and allow extra travel time,” said the City in a construction update. 

Once this week’s work is complete, the bridge should be fully reopened and back to business-as-usual.
