This longer-term repair for the eyebar is designed to perform more efficiently with less maintenance and will last until the bridge is retired from service. Work on the eyebar will not require the full bridge to close; instead, crews will work overnight, which will necessitate the closure of three lanes on the upper deck and one lane on the lower deck. The repair and related lane closures will last for up to three weeks.
During a planned closure of the bridge on Labor Day weekend 2009, engineers inspecting the structure discovered a crack on one eyebar unrelated to the ongoing work. Crews made emergency repairs to the bridge that weekend, and made further refinements to the repair during an emergency closure of the bridge in late October. Download the December 2009 Factsheet
