Foul weather kept bridge open

Road closing signs were ready to be put into place Monday at the Matamoras-Port Jervis Delaware River Bridge which is partially closed for repairs. A scheduled March 29 detour was cancelled twice earlier this week when downpours kept construction crews at bay. The closure began Thursday and will only allow westbound US Route 6 traffic into Matamoras. Port Jervis bound traffic will have to use Interstate Highway 84 and get off at Exit 1 in N.Y.
