Starting in June, work will begin to repair the red-listed Washington St. Bridge between Fowler St. and Electric Ave. Work will continue until project completion this November. During most or all of that time, it may be necessary to close the bridge, so you'll need to follow the detours. Although the bridge was recently repaved, there are still underlying issues that need attention, or the bridge might face permanent closure. It was built over Rolfe Canal in 1975 and spans about 69 feet. The abutments holding the span are deteriorating, and the planned repair work will enable the bridge to safely operate for another 15 years or so, at which time a reassessment will be performed.
