WX Cancels Bridge Work Drizzly conditions have halted bridge work on the Northbound I-44 Bridge over Maurine Street in Wichita Falls. The contractor has decided to scrap plans for work today until it clears up. There is a slim chance, if the rain clears up by tomorrow, that beam hanging could be done Thursday instead. However the forecast right now is looking poor for this type of construction. The large cranes used to hoist the steel girders into place cannot operate during the rain.
Moisture can affect the brakes.
Maurine Street will remain open today.
