LIND – Drivers on state Highway 26 and U.S. Highway 395 can expect delays as bridge maintenance begins.

State Department of Transportation crews were scheduled to start cleaning and replacing bearings on pads on the Highway 26 overpass above Highway 395.

The work is necessary as one of the bearing pads under the structure needs cleaning and realignment, officials said. Crews will be jacking up the structure, removing the bearing pad, cleaning it, and then aligning it in the correct position.

Work was planned for 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, officials said.
