Bridge Over West River Closes Indefinitely Due to Structural Concerns; Detours in Place via Uxbridge, Mendon, and Upton Routes

The bridge that carries Mendon Road over the West River is closing today with no word on how long it will be closed. This after MassDOT said a bridge inspection noted significant items with its condition that require it to be closed. The primary detour route is Providence Road, Hartford Avenue in Uxbridge and Mendon, and Uxbridge Road / Hastings Street. The secondary detour is North Avenue in Mendon, which is Mendon Street in Upton, and Pleasant Street in Upton which is Quaker Street in Northbridge.
