It seems like the multi-year, often-extended Oliver Bridge project will be coming to a close soon. According to the latest update from CN Railroad - the owners of the bridge - the project should be wrapping up on Friday, November 17.
The CN Railway - the owners of the Oliver Bridge - have announced that it will close for daytime inspection on Wednesday, November 11. The bridge that carries junction Minnesota Highway 39 and Wisconsin Highway 105 over the St. Louis River will be closed to traffic between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM.
As reported in an earlier story, there is work planned for the Oliver Bridge starting April 13. At the time, there weren't a lot of details about the scope of the work or what the suggested "single lane" might mean for drivers.
This is getting to sound like a broken record. It looks like the spring and summer road construction season of 2015 will not only see traffic impaired on one bridge but two. Work is expected to start on the Oliver Bridge - which crosses the Saint Louis River - on April 13.
If you utilize the Oliver Bridge to cross the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, you'll want to know about an upcoming bridge inspection that will affect your route.
Like it does most summers, the Oliver Bridge is scheduled for some daytime closures so that routine maintenance and inspections can be carried out. The closure will happen daily Monday August 13th through Friday August 17th - from 7:30 AM to 4 PM...
