Crews will start with the westbound bridge July 26 - Aug. 1, closing the two right lanes and then the two left lanes. Lanes will close from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. during this first phase.

Inspection then moves to the eastbound bridge Aug. 1 - 8 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. As before, crews will start with the right lanes and move to the left lanes.
