12/14/23 Update:
The Dartmouth Bridge will be closed December 15, to switch traffic over to both lanes on the north side of the bridge. Construction crews will then remove the deck on the south side of the bridge, add additional piers and girders, and finally a new deck.

12/12/23 Update:

The Dartmouth Bridge will be closed until at least the evening of Thursday the 14 (weather permitting) in order to change traffic configurations to the final phase of construction on the bridge.

12/6/23 Update:
The Dartmouth Bridge will be closed in both directions for five days (weather permitting) beginning Thursday, December 7. Crews will be pouring the middle portion of the deck, and the deck needs at least five days with no traffic on the adjacent lanes to cure properly.

12/5/23 Update:
Westbound Dartmouth Avenue across the bridge will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, December 6 to do a survey before the next bridge pour. The contractor is currently replacing the median on the east side of the bridge, which will be finished around December 15.

11/17/23 Update:
Westbound Dartmouth Avenue across the bridge will be closed Saturday, November 18, in order to finish work on the utility hanger on the north side of the bridge before Thanksgiving break.

11/16/23 Update:
Westbound Dartmouth Avenue across the bridge will be closed until Friday, November 17 and next Monday, November 20 through Wednesday, November 22 while crews install final pieces of the utility hanger to the north side of the bridge.

8/30/23 Update:

The Dartmouth Avenue Bridge will be closed on Friday, September 1 and Tuesday, September 5. The bridge will be reopened at the end of each day. The contractor will be pouring the bridge barrier and space on the bridge is needed for equipment to prepare for the pour on Friday and execute the pour on Tuesday.

8/18/23 Update:

The Dartmouth Bridge closure has been delayed. The bridge will now be closed from Wednesday, August 23 to Sunday, August 27. The contractor will be pouring new concrete on the north half of the deck. Traffic on the bridge vibrates the deck such that the concrete would not cure properly, so the bridge will be closed during the bridge deck pour, and for enough time to allow the concrete to cure properly.

10/17/23 Update:
Dartmouth Avenue will be closed in both directions for construction of the bridge on Thursday, October 19 through midday Friday, October 20. New traffic patterns will be installed, and traffic will continue Friday afternoon using the northernmost lane for westbound traffic and the southernmost lane for eastbound traffic. This traffic pattern will be utilized throughout the weekend.

On Monday, October 23, the westbound lane of traffic will be closed during the week for up to three weeks while crews install a utility bridge on the north side of Dartmouth Bridge. Demolition and construction will commence on the middle portion of the bridge while the utility bridge is being installed.
