Temporary Closure Scheduled for Bridge Repair

Repair work on the First Street bridge north of Benjamin Avenue over the flood control is expected to begin on
October 8th and will require a full lane closure lasting approximately one month.

The City of Norfolk is planning to award a contract to JJK Construction, LLC from Ceresco, NE at the City
Council meeting on October 7, 2019 for repair work to be done on various City-owned bridges. The contractor
has indicated that they plan to start construction immediately upon award of the contract beginning with the
repair of the First Street bridge north of Benjamin Avenue over the flood control.

As part of the closure, the contractor has established a detour route around the section of First Street from
Benjamin Avenue to NE Industrial Highway. Traffic will be rerouted to 13th Street. Local access on First Street
will be maintained for local residents and businesses.
