Project Description:

This is a rehabilitation of the bridge using an adhered lining system on the arch and reconstruction of the walls as necessary.  This will allow the City to extend the lifespan of the bridge without the cost of an immediate full replacement. This rehabilitation work will also include reconstructing the sidewalks and replacing the bridge’s guard rails in the spring of 2025 and resurfacing of the roadway in the late summer of 2025.  This repair work is intended to rehabilitate the bridge and make it suitable for use for at least another ten years.  

Estimated Completion: June 2025 for substantial completion. Final by November.

Cost: $4,000,000.

Funding Source: Included in CIP FY24-29 with funding from bonds.
