In June of 2024, at the direction of Mayor Weddle, the Public Works Department conducted inspections of city bridges, which led to a state inspection of a structure deemed in urgent need of repair. The state inspection confirmed the city’s findings. Following this, emergency road aid was applied for, which was successfully secured in September of 2024.
The project, which involved complex design considerations to maintain existing stream and road dimensions, was completed efficiently. The structure replacement was executed in eight work days, considerably ahead of the projected schedule. Enhancements to improve pedestrian access and the area’s aesthetic are also being added. The bridge is anticipated to open to traffic in the coming days, with final paving to commence as soon as asphalt plants begin operation.
Thank you, Public Works team, Mayor Weddle, and state partners in the timely completion of this project!
