Impacts to traffic on U.S. Route 202/67:
• Bridge work will occur in 4 stages of off-peak lane closures• The four stages of off-peak lane closures will involve the closure of
the four quadrants (northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest) and stages will be fully complete before next stage is started.
• Uniformed flagmen or local police will control alternating one-way traffic
• Three full closures will be required of the entire bridge• Full closure required for: milling, waterproofing membrane, and
paving
• All closures will occur overnight
• Shoulder closures will be required to repair the bridge rail.
