The Sagamore Bridge is now ready for the flock of warm-weather tourists soon to descend on Cape Cod.

Repairs to the Sagamore Bridge, which connects Route 6 across the Cape Cod Canal, are set to be finished nearly three weeks ahead of schedule. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Cape Cod Facebook page posted an update Tuesday night to announce that the repair work is nearly complete, and all four travel lanes have officially re-opened.

"The contractor, R. Zoppo Corporation of Stoughton, Mass., is now off the bridge and all four travel lanes are open. During the next few days the contractor will continue to perform off-roadway work and removal of signage," the U.S. Army Corps post read.

Contractors have worked around the clock since the start of April to install new supporting parts and upgrade the pedestrian paths on the side of the bridge. Repairs to the bridge, a regular traffic hotspot in the spring and summer months, caused intense congestion along Route 6 in Sagamore and Sandwich.
