The New York State Department of Transportation has announced repairs to fix the hole in the Fire Island Inlet Bridge will begin tomorrow.

The Robert Moses Causeway between Ocean Parkway and Robert Moses State Park will be reduced to one lane with alternating flows of traffic controlled by flaggers, according to the NYSDOT.

The repairs will address the hole in the bridge that News12 has previously covered as well as erosion caused by severe winter weather and remove the recently installed steel plates.

Repairs are expected to last approximately one week. Repairs begin at 10 a.m. and may extend past 3 p.m. depending on conditions.
