CLARIFICATION: The Lewis Street Bridge will close for repairs from 9 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, according to New Iberia Mayor Hilda Curry.

A press release issued Tuesday morning by the state Department of Transportation and Development stated the bridge would be closed from 9 a.m to 11 p.m., but Curry said she received information later Tuesday that said the bridge would be closed only two hours instead of 14 hours.

Motorists are advised to use Louisiana 182, Louisiana 86 and Louisiana 87 as detours during the closure.
