Workers with flags will manage traffic flow, and commuters should expect delays and consider alternative routes.
Additionally, motorists should expect future lane closures while the bridge, built in 1961, is being replaced.

One lane will remain open throughout the project because there are no good alternative routes nearby, and because it carries a high volume of traffic, about 10,000 vehicles per day.
The project, which is expected to last into winter, will include a 10-foot trail on one side and a 5-foot-wide sidewalk on the other. The existing bridge has no room for pedestrians or bicyclists.
