The Massachusetts Department of Transportation says there will be an additional lane closure on the Braga Bridge in Fall River Friday night.

The lane closure will be on the Eastbound side of Interstate 195 between 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Saturday.

The right lane of Interstate 195 East will remain open while the work is ongoing, two lanes of traffic will be maintained once the the work is completed.

Drivers are being asked to seek alternate routes to avoid delays.

Those who do travel through the area are being told to expect delays and reduce speed and use caution while approaching and traveling through the work zone.

Officials say the closure is necessary to reset the barriers on the bridge.

The schedule for this major infrastructure project is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.
