LOWVILLE, N.Y. (WWTI) - Lewis County drivers will have to deal with some traffic delays starting next week.

The Lewis County Highway Department will close the East State Street Bridge over Mill Creek in the Village of Lowville beginning Monday, September 22, for repair work.

The closure is expected to last one to two weeks as the weather permits.

Preparations took place two weeks ago with a temporary traffic light in place. Work crews will now proceed with removing the old asphalt, repairing the concrete surface, and repaving the bridge.

The Department of Motor Vehicles/Board of Elections, Lowville Department of Public Works, Joan’s Gymnastics, and the Liquor Store will remain accessible during construction.

Barricades will also be in place at both ends of the bridge.
