“Our pre-inspection work typically results in some traffic delays,” Thomas O’Brien, Administrator for Roads and Bridges, said in a statement. “Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through these work areas because slowdowns may occur.”
In addition to inspections, the county is designing 20 other active bridge projects, has 10 slated for construction, and has begun construction on three, they said.
