Local residents and people using the hiking and biking trails in Versailles and Elizabeth Township are being warned not to use the Boston Bridge under any circumstances.
"Some pedestrians have been attempting to cross the bridge during the current closure," says Jim Struzzi, district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. "This is unsafe and illegal during the posted pedestrian closure."
The bridge, which carries state Route 48 and connects Versailles and Elizabeth Township, is closed to pedestrians through Aug. 3, and to vehicles through Sept. 27.
Work on the bridge is progressing as planned with the closures expected at this time to end according to schedule, Struzzi says.
After the bridge reopens in September, daily single lane alternating use traffic (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and overnight and weekend closures may occur as needed through fall.
The $17.3 million project includes replacement of the concrete-filled steel grid deck, sidewalk and steel stringers; reinforcement of steel floor beams; new barriers and other work.
No, continue to walk across the bridge during the construction process. Please. Maybe consider purchasing a unicycle as well!
Come on Jason. What are you doing?
Let Darwinism work its eventual magic, and the idiots of today might never become the local politicians of tomorrow.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
