Those excited and relieved that the swing bridge connector that links the Flats East and West Banks need a dose of reality: The bridge still needs some work.
Those excited and relieved that the swing bridge connector that links the Flats East and West Banks finally reopened are getting a dose of reality that feels much like the last two years.The Ohio Department of Transportation, the government body overseeing the rehab of the Center Street Bridge, said this week that the bridge is still undergoing"touch-up painting" and completion of structural work.
Such ongoing work means bridge access will be shut off, ODOT said, during low traffic hours, which will come as a surprise to some who assumed it was back to 24/7 access. "Off-peak lane restrictions means work will begin after morning rush hour end before evening rush hour," Brent Kovacs, public information officer for ODOT, told Scene in an email."And then work resumes overnight."Closed to the public since May 2021, the bridge's repair, necessary to keep it operational, has led to a volley of commuter complaints and irritation, especially as ODOT repeatedly delayed its opening date.
Businesses in the area, like the Flatiron Café, reported steep revenue loss due to the closure of a key access point. On October 10th, owner Dave Steele wrote on a A-frame sign outside:"Bridge is open! As is the Bar for Celebratory drinks."Email Mark Oprea Mark Oprea is a staff writer at Scene.
