Project Description:

 

This bridge was a replacement for an older concrete bridge that carries overflow from Rough River and was scheduled for construction in early 1995.  The old bridge was to be removed and the new wider bridge built on the same alignment.  A temporary detour is to be provided to maintain traffic.  The new structure is proposed to be a single span with a length of 48 feet.  The framing will consist of a concrete deck on PCI-beams.  The substructures are two integral end bents on piling and are square with the roadway.
