CDOT is pleased to announce significant progress on major structural repairs on the US 50 Middle Bridge. This will allow the bridge to open in a single-lane configuration to all legal loads on Wednesday, Oct. 16, for 24 hours a day, seven days a week with pilot operations. Final construction activities will continue during overnight hours, from 11:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., and late-night travelers can expect longer wait times, similar to what they have been encountering at the Lake Fork Bridge. The remaining construction activity will prepare the bridge for normal, two-way traffic, with both lanes open, ahead of winter.
Opening the bridge to all vehicles will bring an end to pilot car operations on County Road 26. This road will remain open for travel and can continue to be used as a local alternate route as long as weather conditions allow.
