The Division Street Bridge in the City of Watertown will close temporarily beginning on Monday, June 8 for repairs. 

The repair work involves removing the existing east approach slab, backfilling a large void underneath the slab, and constructing a new approach slab. This project will be completed by the City of Watertown Street Division and is anticipated to take two weeks to complete. 

A detour will be in effect for the area during the construction. 

While this repair is underway, additional rehabilitation work will occur on the rest of the bridge. It will include concrete spall repair, crack sealing, and concrete deck sealing. These routine maintenance items serve to extend the life of the bridge.

During the closure, traffic is expected to increase along N. Fourth Street and Labaree Street according to the City of Watertown.
