Nighttime single-lane closures will occur in both the northbound and southbound directions on the bridge from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, to allow for bridge repairs.
During this period, flaggers will periodically stop traffic in both directions for about 20 to 25 minutes for special bridge operations.
