Beginning Tuesday to Wednesday, the bridge on Queen Mary Highway will be closed to allow the contractor, Custom Builders, to remove and replace the asphalt on the bridge deck, the Public Works Department, in collaboration with the Federal Highway Administration’s Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, announced.
As noted previously, the contractor was awaiting the arrival of a bonding agent before repairs could begin. The bonding agent, which arrived on the island late last week, will be used to ensure proper adherence of the asphalt to the bridge surface.
Motorists are asked to use alternate routes and adhere to detours while work is in progress.
