Old Lyme — The state Department of Transportation has announced a bridge maintenance project for Interstate 95 southbound on the Raymond E. Baldwin Bridge.

The project, which is slated to take place on Saturday, Aug. 12, and Sunday, Aug. 13, calls for modular joint repairs to the I-95 southbound portion of the bridge over the Connecticut River, according to a DOT notice.

The DOT says that drivers can anticipate two left lane closures on I-95 southbound from Exit 71 to the Exit 69 off-ramp to Route 9 northbound.

The DOT will use traffic control personnel, a message board and signing patterns to help direct motorists through the work zone, the notice states.

The regular work schedule announced for the project is from 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12, through 5 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 13.
