As many of the above comments have asked, what is the life expectancy and the span length? Also, who was the contractor? I would love to know more in this article about the bridge details, ie, length of the bridge deck how the abutments were constructed, etc.

Bridge builders are a special group. To me, it is amazing how they build these bridges. They always do a great job.

The contractor installed the abutment and Bridge.
The Road Dept. has since poured concrete on the deck and poured both concrete approaches. Monday we will start on the remaining work.

Thanks to all County Employees who are helping to get this completed as quickly as possible.

What is real neat, and ironic, about this concept is, the U.S. Army combat engineers, went into Nazi Germany in WW II using similar, but a bit more primitive equipment. Their bridges crossed rivers that had their bridges destroyed by the retreating Germans. A big difference was they were being shot at by ground troops and strafed by the Luftwaffe.

Maybe it’s true….history repeats itself.

Bridge building needs to be a speedy process given 21st century building and engineering technologies WITHOUT sacrificing quality construction.

This is encouraging and hopefully will be considered for the other county funded bridges in the North End. We’ve been saying it’s all fun and games (NOT!) – extra miles and time needed to navigate detours, travelling more on sloppy clay roads, and the impending rainy season when one of the remaining two roads out of La Floresta Perdida area is under water at its bridge – until someone needs an ambulance or the fire department.
