Traffic flow will more slowly on the East Side Drive bridge over Interstate 393 in Concord for four nights, beginning Sunday, as a result of construction.
The state Department of Transportation will be carrying out the construction from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. until Thursday. The work is part of a $3 million bridge preservation project by general contractor New England Infrastructure, based in Hudson, MA.
Bridge repair has been ongoing for months as state crews perform repairs and replacements to the bridge’s innards. While alternative street patterns have been a frequent sight there, the night and evening work this week will further constrain passage.
The department plans to employ message boards, traffic control devices and officers to direct vehicles traveling through the area during these windows.
Sherill’s Law, or the Move Over Law, requires people to slow down, move out of blocked lanes and obey signage and posted messages.
