On my normal morning commute I approached the bridge, and I noticed something unusual. There seemed to be cars going both ways! That is unusual. That normally only happens on Friday afternoon, or when the winds are so heavy there is no maintenance work going on on the bridge. But it was a calm Monday morning! Would this mean the work was finished?
The obvious part of the work was over, so this could be it. But I was sceptical, as I would have expected some media attention if the bridge would be open from now on. And over lunch I heard it also needed to be painted, so it would close one lane at a time soon again. (This has been confirmed.) Bummer. But understandable; the bridge is 200 years old in 2026, and I can imagine it wants to look good for such a special birthday.
It will be annoying to get the traffic lights back. But once they’re gone after the paint job, they should stay gone. That would be great!
