The Lagoon Pond bridge will be closed to traffic the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 7. The bridge is scheduled to close at 7 p.m. and will reopen at 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

Tisbury selectman Melinda Loberg said the closure was not related to the ongoing construction of a new bridge at Lagoon Pond, but instead was a maintenance procedure on the existing bridge. The work will be completed by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

Mrs. Loberg said the bridge needs some work in advance of winter. “There’s been some wear and tear,” she said.

Large electronic signs have been placed on Beach Road in Oak Bluffs and at Five Corners in Vineyard Haven to notify residents of the closure.

“This work is overnight, so hopefully it will not impact most people,” Mrs. Loberg said.
