A bridge linking Parkersburg and Belpre, Ohio, is shutting down for repairs.
 
The Memorial Bridge will close Monday. Repairs are expected to be completed in two weeks.

 
The $182,000 project includes replacing an expansion join and about 400 square feet of concrete deck.

 
The bridge spanning the Ohio River opened in 1954.
