Thanks, Michael. We’ve modified the title and added some text to clarify. The bridge should be crossable during most of the maintenance work, though there may be delays. It all depends on what they find and what they need to do. There may be lane closures. The bridge itself may have brief closures while the draw-bridge is opened and closed. As it says in the message from the State Highway Administration, closures should be no longer than the usual time it takes for the drawbridge to open, a boat to pass through, and then the drawbridge to close–less than half an hour, more likely 15 minutes at a time. However, we don’t know when those 15-30 minute closings will be or how many of them there might be. Probably not many unless they find a problem in the draw-bridge section. Hopefully, there will be no problems.

Or are They? The headline and the article are conflicting.
