4th Street Bridge Construction Project

Traffic Impacts:
Only one lane of traffic is open in each direction on the new westbound structure.  An 11 ft. width restriction is in effect through the work zone.  This configuration will be in effect until December 31, 2010.

September Activities:
  • Westbound bridge opened to traffic (one-lane each direction).
  • Constructing the new eastbound roadway and storm sewer system.
  • Constructing Type 7 barrier on the east bound bridge.
  • Painting the new eastbound and westbound bridges.

The Loop Ramp off of eastbound 4th Street to Midtown Center will be closed April 12, 2010 through September 10, 2010.  The sidewalk on the south side of the 4th Street bridge is closed.  Pedestrians are directed to use the north side and are encouraged to cross 4th Street at Elizabeth Street (east) and at Elmhurst (west) for access to the north side of the 4th Street bridge.  The pedestrian crossing at Elmhurst is closed to pedestrian traffic through September 20, 2010  for road construction, use Abriendo Ave.
