ALBION – The Main Street lift bridge will close again tomorrow (April 21) so crews can finish an extensive rehabilitation of the bridge.
The closure is expected to last up to six weeks. Detours will be posted.
The bridge was initially closed on Nov. 14, 2022 for what was expected to be about 18 months for a major rehabilitation. That project stretched to more than two years when the bridge was reopened just after Christmas on Dec. 27, 2024.
But there was still some more work on the deck and with additional testing, Village Trustee Joyce Riley said.
The original bridge from 1914 has been extensively rebuilt with new steel now over about 80 percent of the structure.
