In brief: Hampton area happenings, week of June 10, 2024

Clearview Road Bridge closure

Hampton is replacing the Clearview Road Bridge, which crosses Gourdhead Run and connects to Route 8.

The project involves the replacing of the existing span and relocation of electrical, water, sewer and gas lines in the vicinity of the bridge. As a result, there will be a substantial impact to commuters who use the bridge.

The shutdown of the bridge is scheduled to begin June 10, and it is anticipated that the bridge will remain closed through September. The recommended detour is Route 8 to Harts Run Road to Clearview Road.

All work on this project is weather-dependent.

The work requires the closure of a portion of the street between Toner and Duncan avenues. To allow the work to occur, an around-the-clock closure of Mount Royal will occur through late August.

Traffic will be detoured, as posted:

• North of the closure — from Mount Royal Boulevard, turn right onto Route 8. Turn right onto Duncan Avenue, Follow Duncan Avenue back to Mount Royal Boulevard.
