Motorists traveling on Hwy 61 will encounter lane closures over the Hastings Bridge beginning at 6 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 1.
Southbound Hwy 61 will be reduced to a single lane over the Mississippi River between Highway 10 and Fourth Street.
Once the crews complete work on the southbound side of the highway, approximately Wednesday, Aug. 10, northbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane in the same area.
These lane closures are needed as crews resurface the bridge deck as part of scheduled maintenance on the bridge.
The bicycle trail adjacent to the bridge will be closed weekdays while work on the northbound lanes is ongoing.Â
All lanes are expected to reopen by Aug. 20.Â
