The Mount Hope Bridge will be closed starting Thursday night for some much-needed resurfacing work.

The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) said the bridge will be closed to all traffic from 7 p.m. through Monday at 5 a.m., weather permitting.

According to the RITBA, the road surface will be milled, and then an ultra-thin bonded overlay will be applied to make a smooth surface.

For those who need to drive around the bridge during the closure, signage for detours will be in place, directing drivers to use Route 24 and I-195 through Fall River.
