The Willow Grove Avenue Bridge will be closed today as crews work to repair the structure.
The bridge will be closed between Saint Martins Lane and Seminole Street on Saturday to eastbound traffic. The bridge will remain open to westbound traffic however.
A spokeswoman for the Mayor’s Office says structural damage was discovered during a routine inspection by the Streets Department.
The bridge will be partially closed to traffic for approximately three weeks as repairs are made. Officials say the repairs will not affect operations at the Saint Martins train station. Pedestrians and bikes will be allowed to cross the bridge.
Drivers in that area may use Gravers Lane from Saint Martins Lane to Seminole Street as a detour.
