Warning signage will be clearly posted on each approach to the bridge advising of construction activity.   Bikers should expect to stop and dismount when approaching the bridge for their own safety, as well as that of the construction workers.  Since pedestrians and bikers will have access during the replacement work it will take from 45 to 60 days weather permitting.
