Work could begin as early as January 2027. Construction will be staged to allow the roadway to remain open. Motorists should anticipate a lane closure with a 10.5-foot width restriction in the vicinity of the northbound bridge as work is underway.
The rehabilitation work will be underway for approximately four months.
