Bridge Painting and Street Closure; Something You Have Experienced Before

The LaSalle Expressway Bridge over 87th Street in Niagara Falls is going to be painted starting next Monday (April 14). While the painting is going on, 87th Street between Mang Ave. and Buffalo Ave. (NY Route 384) will be closed to traffic. Posted detour signs will aid motorists in getting get around those closed streets to their destination. The work, which will entail an entire crew, is expected to take three weeks. (Note: In the old days, when Americans had common sense, a group of able-bodied townsfolk would have gotten together and knocked off this job in a half a day for the cost of paint and a picnic lunch).
