Memorial Bridge repairs will close left inbound lane Tuesday (Dec. 17)
LEWISTON – Travel across Memorial Bridge in North Lewiston will be restricted Tuesday (Dec. 17) for joint repairs, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Tuesday’s work, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., will require closure of the inside (left)
lane of the bridge as it enters Lewiston. ITD is repairing seven joints in each
of the four lanes, closing one lane at a time. Most of that work will be complete after Tuesday's closure. An additional, brief closure will be required sometime in the future for final clean up.
Crews will use a concrete/polymer mix to match the driving surface with bridge joints and improve conditions for motorists. The joints now are slightly higher, resulting in minor bumps as cars cross the bridge.
Drivers should watch for and follow signs indicating a lane closure. Slight delays, especially during peak drive times, can be expected.
