The one-lane temporary
bridge has opened to traffic. As a safety precaution, a 10-mph speed limit will
be implemented in the area of the temporary structure. Traffic will be
controlled by temporary signals. The Millers Run Road Bridge closed to traffic
in December after an inspection found advanced deterioration of the structure.
A project to permanently replace the closed bridge is currently being designed.
Mohawk Road will
remain closed to traffic at the Millers Run Road intersection until the
permanent structure is installed.
The temporary
structure will not be weight posted; however, the truck detour will remain in
place.
