“This closure is required to safely complete critical work, including demolition of the existing structure and installation of a temporary bridge,” as stated in a press release. “The existing bridge structure is in poor structural condition and must be demolished at once. It cannot be demolished in stages without risking public safety. Completing work within a full closure also allows construction to proceed as efficiently and quickly as possible, ultimately reducing construction timelines.”
