Two lanes to remain open during bridge repairs

The repairs to the May Street Bridge will now take longer to complete. City councillors voted to have two lanes open during repairs instead of closing the bridge entirely. It came after a plea from Dairy Queen owner Richard Schutte who said closing the bridge would have had a devistating effect on his business.  He estimated the loss could be as high as 30 per cent.    The change means repairs will take almost all summer to complete instead of only half that time.
