On Saturday, July 16 from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. the Hawthorne Bridge will be closed for a contractor to conduct survey and inspection work. On Sunday, July 17, the Hawthorne Bridge will be closed from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for maintenance crews to grease the bridge’s counterweight cables. Traffic will need to use alternative routes.
