Major repairs to the 26th Street Bridge over the Lafayette River have begun.
The bridge will be closed prior to rush hour on Thursday through Sunday to permit concrete placement. While the bridge is closed, through traffic on Lafayette Boulevard and 26th Street will be detoured to Lindenwood Ave.
The city expects repairs to be completed by the fall of 1997. During the project, the bridge will be closed once per month for periods of three to four days at a time. by CNB
