Sep 12, 2022 12:30 am

The Berkshire Eagle is reporting Moody Bridge, the span that crosses the Hoosic River at Route 7 and Simonds Road in Williamstown, Mass., will be closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic beginning 6 p.m., Sept. 16, until 6 a.m. on Sept. 19. The backup dates are Sept. 23, to Sept. 26. The detour around the closed bridge will follow Route 2 or Mohawk Trail, to Cole Avenue, to North Hoosac Road to Bridges Road to Sand Springs Road. The road closure is necessary to allow workers to resurface the bridge, which will take a couple of days to complete and set properly, according to the state Department of Transportation. Town officials are asking drivers to plan accordingly and use the alternate detour route during the bridge closure. Read the full story in The Berkshire Eagle.
