Work will require double lane closures on the bridge beginning Sunday, April 21.

Inspectors will be on-site between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. A single lane closure will be in place at the approach to the bridge in Ohio on both I-71 southbound and I-75 southbound.

A double lane closure will be in place on the southbound portion of the Spence Bridge from the 191.63 mile point to the 191.36 mile point.

All lanes will reopen to traffic by 6:00 a.m.
