Spring Common Bridge closes Jan. 7
YOUNGSTOWN — The Spring Common bridge — one of the main entrances to the city’s downtown — will be completely closed for at least six months beginning Jan. 7.
The Mahoning County commissioners approved the bridge closing today. The span connects Mahoning Avenue with Fifth Avenue and West Federal Street at downtown’s west end.
Traffic will be detoured over Hogue and Marshall streets and over the Marshall Street Bridge to Vindicator Square and West Federal Street.
Access to the B&O Station Banquet Hall and Anthony’s on the River restaurant will be maintained. The city will adjust timing of traffic signals to expedite traffic making the quarter-mile detour, said county Engineer Richard A. Marsico.
