There will also be a police officer at each end of the bridge. Pedestrian traffic across the bridge will be maintained open overnight. At the time of setting each beam, the pedestrians will be stopped off the bridge until it is deemed that there is no overhead hazard and each beam is set in place.

Best efforts will be made to limit noise and lighting disruptions to the surrounding community during this time. The detour onto Aiken Street and Merrimack Street will be well-marked and have LPD details.
