Site History
The original bridges were built in the early 1970’s and are due for maintenance to
keep them functioning properly, extending their useful lifespan for years to come.
In addition to cleaning and painting the structural steel of the fifteen (15)
bridges, the project will make various improvements to the existing bridges that
include: concrete crack and spall repairs, concrete protective coating, bolt
replacements, repair and cleaning of bridge drainage, bridge joint cleaning,
access door repairs, parapet plate armoring, fence replacement, electrical and
lighting repairs, and erosion repairs. The existing pedestrian bridge over
I-77/I-64 and staircases will be removed as part of the project.
