Portion of I-94 closing for bridge demolition

Construction crews will demolish the 92nd Street bridge overnight Thursday. In order to perform the work, Interstate 94 traffic will be shut down between the zoo and 76th Street.

While drivers may be inconvenienced for seven hours, neighbors could endure another sleepless night filled with construction noise.

"It's endless," said Jacob Scepanski, who lives near the project. "You need a helicopter to get out of here."

"Just living next to the highway with no sound wall, you've gotten used to it over the years," said Mike Kirby, who also lives near the project.

For those who might have trouble sleeping because of the noise, the Department of Transportation sent a gift in the mail: A set of earplugs.

"I'll be fine, but everybody else in the house will be up," Scepanski said.

The 92nd Street bridge will be rebuilt to accommodate the widening of I-94 below it.

The new bridge is expected to open in late 2015.
