Monroe Street bridge deck removed; city reports work on track for early August completion
Summary
Public works said the Monroe Street bridge deck has been removed and work is progressing toward an early-August completion despite brief weather delays in April; staff described temporary traffic changes and additional police support on the east side.
Mister Shaw reported that the bridge deck came off on schedule and that crews are progressing through the next phases of work. He said April weather caused a few slow days but overall progress is good and the project remains on track for a likely early-August completion.
Shaw warned of a short-term eastbound ramp closure coming in the week ahead and described temporary reroutes to build roadway approaches near Kroger and the third lane tied to the project. Council and the chief discussed public-safety coordination; police said response times have not materially changed and staff are using a nearby fire station as an adjunct operations location during construction. The city has also begun sharing drone photos of progress to keep the public informed.
