A MONTH OF REPAIRS

ILLUSTRATION: Staff photo by STEVE EARLEY

The westbound side of the Lesner Bridge, which spans Lynnhaven Inlet

on Shore Drive, is being resurfaced. Traffic in both directions is

being funneled to the eastbound side, causing some backups at rush

hour. Resurfacing of both sides of the bridge is to be completed by

Memorial Day. Unfortunately, the work could not be done during the

winter's lighter traffic period because it had to wait until warmer

weather.
