The North Landing Bridge at Mount Pleasant Road will be closed for two months, beginning Nov. 15, according to the city.
The closure, expected to be finished by Jan. 15, 2010, will allow crews to replace the deck and make other repairs, a city news release says. The bridge crosses the Intracoastal Waterway.
Signs will mark the detour route, which includes Centerville Turnpike and Kempsville Road.

Are commercial vehicles
Are commercial vehicles going to be able to cross after the work is completed. Will they be changing weight restrictions?
Hello?
Do the repairs at night? They wouldn't even get the prep work done before they would have to start undoing it to open the road back up. You have no idea what you are talking about. As for VDOT, Sessoms, Spore, and city council. This isn't being handled by them. As much as I dislike the vb gov and city council, this isn't their mess. People need to quit armchair refereeing on things that have no clue about. Let people do their jobs!
Facts
This is a project run by the US Army Corps of Engineers, not VDOT.
Repairs include repairing the bridge house, removal and replacement of the existing bridge surface, steel grid replacement and concrete fill, repairs to the underwater support pilings and concrete abutments, and replacement of traffic control lights and poles and traffic control gates.
This is a lot more than just replacing the bridge deck. Two months isn't that bad for all that work, and there's plenty of ways to detour.
Oh, and Santa, you forgot to blame Pelosi and Reid too. Because road construction under Bush and Gilmore was perfect, right?
It sure was...
(sarcasm post here) Let's see: under Gov. Gilmore, for example, how many lanes were added to the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel?
DEMS no better
Let's see my pro-Democratic Party, pro-taxpayer subsized transit loving friend - how many lanes were added to the HRBT under the Mark Warner and Tim Kaine administrations?
Darn Funny
When you realize that political extremist Reid Greenmun voted for both Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.
Let me ask you
how many lanes were added under Gov. Rob (D) or Gov. Allen (R)?
You forget what a sarcasm post is (not going to say what I want, or else I will be censored)
Typical inefficiency of
Typical inefficiency of Sessoms, City Council, James Spore, VDOT, Kaine, and Obama. The Seabees could rebuild this bridge overnight with prefabricated parts. Most road contractors are enemies of the taxpayer dollar. So are the politicians that pay them.
Santa
The Bridge is also technically in Chesapeake not Virginia Beach...the project belongs to the ARMY corps of Engineers...neither city is involved
Seabees
Could do all that WHILE BEING SHOT AT!!!
