Corrects date of state Highway 112 closure for Joyce Daze Parade.
JOYCE — Carpenter ant damage to a piling has caused a weight restriction to be placed on state Highway 112’s bridge over the Lyre River.
Loads over legal weights are prohibited on the bridge, which is reduced to one lane at times for workers to remove and replace the ant-damaged piling.
Cars and legal loads are unaffected by the discovery, the state Department of Transportation said.
The Lyre River bridge is about 4 miles west of Joyce.
While the piling work is underway, traffic will be reduced to a single alternating lane operated by flaggers from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Wednesday to Aug. 5.
