At 6 a.m. Monday, the bridge over Magby Creek on N. Lehmberg Road will close for repairs. City leaders say it will remain closed for about a month. Columbus Mayor Robert Smith issued the following statement Friday: “There is no good way to say it. Traffic in East Columbus will be disrupted for drivers starting tomorrow morning (February 1) and it will not get better until early March. I am asking drivers to plan ahead for alternate routes and to also know those alternate routes will also be congested. North Lehmberg Road will be closed at Dutch Village for emergency bridge repairs starting tomorrow at 6 a.m. Traffic will be detoured around the bridge for all of February while we make those repairs. The work will take one month to complete. Almost 10,000 vehicles a day will be affected. Those vehicles will be forced to other routes and that will take extra patience and travel time for everyone, no matter how you choose to reach your destination. Columbus Police will have officers at the intersections to help traffic flow during rush hour. We have gone door-to-door to notify businesses in the area and have notified all schools and emergency services. The repairs will be completed as quickly as possible while also being completed properly under the supervision of City Engineer Kevin Stafford. We will be issuing updates every five days on the progress of the work.” Photo by: Courtesy image
