A press release from the Cabinet shares that AECOM an infrastructure consulting firm will perform a steel tension inspection which is necessary to ensure the safety and structural soundness of the bridges.

Three separate lane closures are scheduled for the inspection. From March 4 to March 7 the right eastbound lane of the bridge will be closed.
