As weather permits, inspectors will be using a reach-all bucket truck to conduct their examination of bridge girders and the underside of the bridge deck. Work will be delayed in the event of high winds.
The Hansen Bridge will be reduced to one lane between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Drivers should watch for flaggers and can expect minor delays of up to 10 minutes. There will be a 14-foot width restriction for oversize loads in effect during work hours.
Drivers are urged to use caution when crossing the bridge and to watch for crew members and equipment. ITD appreciates the patience and cooperation of those driving through the work zone.
