Repairs to a bridge on a major thoroughfare in Williamstown, Massachusetts will send drivers on a detour this weekend.

Williamstown Community Development Department Director Andrew Groff says the Route 7 Moody Bridge over the Hoosic River will be closed from Friday evening until Monday morning.

“It’s a state owned bridge, and according to our partners at [Massachusetts Department of Transportation], they're just making sure that it's going to last a long time into the future and they're going to give it a whole new road surface,” he told WAMC.

The detour around the closed bridge will follow Route 2 to Cole Avenue to North Hoosac Road to Bridges Road to Sand Springs Road.

Josh Landes has been WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief since February 2018, following stints at WBGO Newark and WFMU East Orange. A passionate advocate for Western Massachusetts, Landes was raised in Pittsfield and attended Hampshire College in Amherst, receiving his bachelor's in Ethnomusicology and Radio Production. His free time is spent with his cat Harry, experimental electronic music, and exploring the woods.
