The Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge over the Fox River will be looked over by officials starting on Tuesday and continuing through Thursday.

“Luckily there has been no major issues with the bridge that would compromise the safety of the bridge or compromise the safety of those traveling over the bridge,” he says.
He explains what officials will be checking out for the next three days.
“Looking for rust, looking at the cables,” explains Kantola. “Performing a thorough inspection of the bridge.”
Kantola gives the details on what motorists can expect throughout the week.
“We’re going to have the right lane closed from 9 AM to 3 PM on Tuesday on northbound,” he says. “On Wednesday, from 9 am to 3 PM we’re going to have the right lane of northbound and southbound closed.”
The real danger might be a common dangerous tendency that motorists develop when driving through construction.
