Bridge on 40th Street in Nitro closed through August for deck replacement

​

The US Army SP4 Harold "Skip" Grueser Memorial Bridge, which carries 40th Street across Armour Creek in Nitro, will be closed from Monday, July 8, 2024, through mid-August for a deck replacement project.

On Tuesday, May 7, 2024, Triton Construction Inc. was awarded a contract for $1.85 million to replace the deck on the bridge, which had been resurfaced several times in recent years.​

​
Triton's contract requires that the contractor complete work on the bridge prior to school opening in August.

Triton will demolish the existing bridge deck and replace it with a new deck. The arrangement will not allow for access to emergency vehicles until construction is complete.

During construction motorists may detour around the bridge using WV 25 and WV 62.
