The Ohio Department of Transportation began a $2.7 million bridge rehabilitation project on the East Gypsy Lane Road and East Poe Road bridges over Interstate 75 in Bowling Green by installing falsework in preparation for bridge closures.
Falsework consists of temporary structures used in construction to support a permanent structure until its construction is sufficiently advanced to support itself.
The East Gypsy Lane Road bridge over I-75 will close Tuesday, June 1. The detour is Campbell Hill Road to Napoleon Road to Dunbridge Road.
The East Poe Road bridge over I-75 will close Monday, June 7. The detour is Mercer Road to East Wooster Street to Dunbridge Road.
Each bridge will be closed for approximately three months while crews replace the bridge decks, rehabilitate the abutments, replace the approach slabs, and other necessary roadway work.
