The work will require one of the two lanes to be closed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. During this time, truck drivers and other motorists will take turns crossing the bridge under flagging operations.
People should be cautious traveling through the work zone and expect a longer commute.
