Update: The Court Street bridge will remain open to traffic through the weekend of January 10 and 11.

There will be no more overnight lane-ramp closures or work on the Spencer Street and Court Street bridges over Interstate 81 this week because of bad weather and a delay in the activation of temporary traffic signals along the detour route, the state Department of Transportation said. The DOT is removing both bridges and expects to have them replaced by Nov. 30.
