Progress continues on the Bridge Street Bridge project. Utilities have been relocated, and the existing bridge deck and one abutment have been removed to make way for the new bridge.
The next step is the installation of steel-reinforced concrete footings. Due to recent rain and snow melt, river flows are currently too high for that work to safely move forward without risking impacts to nearby properties.
The contractor is prepared to resume work once flows decrease to a safe level. At this time, no project time extension is being requested.
