Starting Tuesday, May 31, 2022, the bridge will be closed to all traffic and detours will direct motorists onto Route 3, Route 104 and Winona Road. Local traffic will be permitted on Waukewan Road from both directions with no access over the bridge. The bridge will remain closed until Columbus Day.
