Drivers, expect less of a headache when going over the Sagamore Bridge in the days ahead.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New England District has completed “critical maintenance work” on the old Cape bridge two weeks ahead of schedule, just in time for what looks to be a beautiful, summerlike weekend.

Contractors Thursday morning finished the paving portion of the project’s final phase, which included repairs to both the east side roadway lanes and the bridge’s sidewalk. Lane restrictions have been removed, and a temporary line striping has been put down, according to the USACE.

“The contractor will come back over the weekend at night to complete permanent line striping, remove all the temporary road signage and reopen the sidewalk to pedestrians and cyclists,” the USACE said via social media. “USACE would like to thank everyone in the community for their patience and cooperation during this critical repair work that was completed well ahead of schedule!”

Drivers since March dealt with lane restrictions at all times of the day and night, and the usual two lanes in each direction had been cut to a single 12-foot lane in each direction, while workers performed road and bridge structural repairs.

Work being done early comes as a delight after the USACE delayed the start of the repairs by a few weeks, from March 1 to March 20.

The first phase focused on the repairs on the bridge’s westside lanes, and the second on repairs to the middle lanes.

Not everyone is jumping for joy that the work is done, per a Facebook post from the Bourne Police Department on Wednesday announcing the removal of the lane restrictions.

“What will you miss the most?  I personally will miss the time I was able to spend listening to the entire Taylor Swift Midnights Album while traversing from the station to the Capeside,” the department said, adding it was “offering unlimited Canal Catapult rides to anyone who can pinky promise they yielded to someone at one of the intersections during the congestion or allowed the “zipper method” to do its magic.”

Weymouth resident Barbara Clarkson responded, saying she had been ultra productive during her two-hour commute every morning from the South Shore.

“I’ve paid bills, answered emails, sent emails, eaten breakfast, cooked lunch … shopped online .. shopped online .. oh, and shopped online,” she wrote. “The adult diapers can now be thrown away and I can hydrate on my daily drive !! Best news EVERRRRR!!!”
