Multiple US Bridges Close for Maintenance, Cause Detours, Delays

Several significant bridge repair projects are underway or starting soon across the United States and the UK. In Washington, the Lost Creek Bridge on Highway 20 will close for about three weeks starting June 9 for extensive deck and girder replacement, with a detour established via LeClerc Road. Pennsylvania is rehabilitating the Clarion River Arch Bridge on Route 322 beginning June 9, imposing lane restrictions and potential delays, with completion expected by September. In Colchester, UK, repairs to a footbridge closed since December 2023 due to part of the Middle Mill weir collapsing into the River Colne are set to start, with work anticipated to finish by August; this project required environmental permits and extensive assessments. These repair efforts highlight ongoing infrastructure maintenance challenges impacting traffic and pedestrian routes, with communities advised to plan for detours and delays. Authorities express appreciation for public patience during these necessary works to ensure safety and usability.
