Motorists can expect delays and should watch for flaggers. ITD said the inspection should only last a day. Crews will start at 8 a.m. on the south side and work northward. Drivers can expect up to a ten minute delay. If weather is bad ITD will reschedule the inspection.“The Hansen Bridge is a vital structure in the region and serves as an important connector for motorists each day,” Griffin said in a prepared statement. “Inspections and routine maintenance projects play an important role in ensuring the longevity of our bridges throughout the state.” In addition to lane closures there will be a 12-foot width restriction.
