East Bank Trail and Leeper Avenue Bridge to undergo repairs

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The East Bank Trail and the Leeper Avenue Bridge will both be undergoing repairs starting on Monday.

As a result, the intersection of North Shore Drive to Napoleon Street will stay closed until repairs are completed.

Construction includes the replacement of a steel column as well as concrete foundation.

Each repaired or replaced area will also need to be repainted.

The contractor has until June of 2023 to complete the project, but work could be completed by the end of 2022 if weather permits, according to a press release from the city of South Bend.
