Traffic will be diverted off I-75 onto Needmore, and drivers will take North Dixie to Benchwood Road and back onto I-75.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) says crews have to do emergency repairs to the bridge on Stop 8 Road.
Last year, an oversized truck hit the bridge and caused major damage.
“Once the repairs are completed and we go back through our safety testing with our bridge team, at that point, our plan is to reopen the road to motorists,” Loryn Bryson, the Public Information Officer for ODOT, said.
ODOT says they believe the repairs should take about eight nights of work.
