NITRO, W.Va. (WSAZ) - The 40th Street Bridge in Nitro will be closed for construction from Monday, July 8 until mid-August, the West Virginia Division of Highways said in a release.

According to Metro 911 in Kanawha County, drivers can use 31st Street East in Nitro or take Route 25 to Cross Lanes Drive for detours around the bridge.

The bridge is closed during a deck replacement project, the WVDOH said.
