Starting next Monday, a county road and a bridge will be closed temporarily.

Lawrence County Road 107 (Old State Route 7) will be closed at the address of 8833 County Road 107, starting at 9 a.m. Monday until 6 p.m. Friday for a culvert replacement.

In Ironton, the Oakley C. Collins Bridge will be closed to traffic from 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday through Wednesday, weather permitting, as a crew from the Ohio Department of Transportation does its annual inspection.

The bridge closure is due to the size of the “snooper” truck used during the inspection. A snooper is an Aspen bucket truck that the inspectors use to look the whole bridge over.

The snooper allows a crew of two to get up to 60 feet under the bridge. There will also be people physically inspecting the towers and other areas they can reach.

The bridge will be open to evening and overnight travel, but during periods of closure, motorists will be detoured by way of U.S. Route 52 and the Ashland’s 12th and 13th Street bridges at Coal Grove.
