The Dewey Street Bridge in downtown Eau Claire could reopen this week.
An inspection of the bridge was done yesterday morning by an outside engineering firm that used a drone to check under the bridge and do sound testing to determine how much it had deteriorated. The bridge has been closed since March 25 when a hole was discovered two-feet by two-feet. The city has applied for nine-point-four-million-dollars from the federal government to replace the 92-year-old bridge.
