Details

About

Enlarged map of project. This project addressed wear and aging on the Tower Road Bridge over I-84. Crews repaired and upgraded key bridge features to extend the bridge’s lifespan, improve safety for travelers, and delay the need for full replacement.​

The project is nearing completion. ​

​Work included:
  • ​Repairing the bridge deck.
  • Installing new approach slabs. Approach slabs help create a smooth transition between the road and the bridge.
  • Updating the bridge rail and protective fencing.
  • Repairing wing walls and guardrail. Wing walls are small walls next to bridges that hold back soil and support the road. They help keep the road stable and prevent erosion around the bridge ends.
  • Paving the Tower Road bridge and the bridge approaches, the short road sections that connect the highway to the bridge.
