TIME CHANGE: The Bridge will completely close from 9am to 10:30 am, with the grand reopening ceremony at 10am. This will reduce the impacts to our buses and our student drop offs, especially at Hardy and Westside.
It’s the news everyone in Smithfield has been waiting for — the Cypress Creek Bridge is reopening to two-way traffic on Thursday, October 16, at 10:30 a.m.!After being closed since January 22, 2024 (that’s 633 days, but who’s counting?), we can finally say goodbye to those long “drive-around-town” detours!
A Reopening Celebration hosted by the Town of Smithfield will take place at 10 a.m., and the bridge will be closed to all traffic from 9:00–10:30 a.m. that morning to prepare for the big moment.
Please plan accordingly for your morning commute — just one last short detour before smooth sailing (and driving) in both directions again!
Thank you for your patience and good humor through this long wait. We’re excited to see the bridge officially open and traffic flowing freely once more!
