According to the Milton-Madison Bridge Project, crews closed the bridge around 2 a.m. Tuesday after a steel bearing, about four-feet in diameter, dislodged between the bridge and a pier. The project manager closed the bridge believing it is unsafe to cross. The worker was not seriously injured. The bridge was due to be reduced to one lane on Thursday and to close completely on Friday for about a week. Now, the bridge will remain closed until the new bridge is slid into place, a process that is scheduled to begin on Thursday.
