[CLEAR] New Cheat Lake Bridge Schedule

Jason Nelson of the WV division of highways said today on WAJR radio

that the work on the new bridge is behind schedule. He said two to three

more weeks of work remains, depending upon the weather. The main

bridge deck is now finished, in concrete. But, more work remains with the

asphalt on the approach ramps. Other finishing work also remains to be

done. So, we cannot expect the new bridge to open until at least

December 7th.

He also said that there is some subsidence on one of the ramps, over

Bowers Lane, in the interchange of the Mon Valley Expressway.
