Sagamore Bridge construction finished 2 weeks ahead of schedule
BOURNE — Construction on the Sagamore Bridge is done. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced on Thursday that the work was finished two weeks ahead of schedule.
All travel lanes are now open just days before the busy summer travel season starts.
Crews had been working around the clock since March repairing concrete and steel supports on the bridge. The maintenance work and subsequent lane closures caused delays for weeks for those trying to exit and enter the Cape, especially during peak hours.
The Army Corps of Engineers said the sidewalk will be re-opened to walkers, runners and cyclists this weekend. Permanent traffic lines will be painted at night over the weekend and all temporary signs will be removed.
