Closures began Friday night at Exit 9.

Drivers will be detoured around the construction onto two- lane temporary roadways at the on and off ramps.

The closures remain in effect until Monday morning at 5.

The project involves the complete demolition of the two bridge spans that carry Route 1 (East Main Street) over I-95, followed by the sliding in of new, replacement spans.

Officials say the bridge spans need to be replaced because they have outlasted their lifecycles.
