• 6:00pm to 6:00am Monday through Friday,

• 6:00pm Saturday through 10:00am Sunday.
Temporary precast concrete barriers and other traffic devices will be used during stage construction.
The project consists of a complete bridge structure replacement, drainage improvements, and full depth roadway reconstruction.  DOT Project No. 0044-0148 was awarded to D & V Morin Construction Co., at a cost of $1,991,519.00 on June 24, 2016, and is scheduled to be completed November 14, 2017.
