The Manchester Road bridge over Kenmore Boulevard will be closed all week beginning today.

The bridge will close each day at 8:30 a.m. and reopen at 3:30 p.m., according to a city of Akron news release, which adds the work includes patching concrete on parapet walls and bridge maintenance.

The traffic on southbound Manchester Road will be detoured to the Fourth Street ramp, then across Kenmore Boulevard and back to Manchester Road.

Northbound traffic will exit using the ramp to Kenmore Boulevard, then use Old Manchester to merge back to Manchester Road.

The city asks drivers to use caution in this area.
