Veterans Bridge closure announced
WEIRTON - The Veterans Memorial Bridge is set to be closed to traffic the night of Nov. 23 as part of continuing maintenance.
All lanes of traffic on the bridge will be closed beginning at 8 p.m., Nov. 23 until 5 a.m. Nov. 24 to allow for cable replacements. The closure is being done at night to minimize the impact on the traveling public, according to officials with the West Virginia Division of Highways.
Emergency vehicles will be accommodated, but all other motorists are advised to use an alternate route, which include crossing by the Jennings Randolph Bridge between Chester and East Liverpool, and the Wellsburg Bridge between Wellsburg and Brilliant.
Inclement weather or other circumstances could change the schedule.
