About

​The road bridge approaches and bridge decks need repairs andEnlarged map of project. upgrades due to an increase in truck traffic. Deck seal is losing its effectiveness, allowing moisture to penetrate the surface and reducing its lifespan. Bridge rail does not meet current height and capacity standards.

We will:
  • Repair the bridge deck surface.

  • Repair the bridge wing walls.
  • Pave and rebuild the approaches connecting Tower Road to the bridge.
