Taylor Bridge repair leaves future murky amid high traffic
Taylor Bridge in Alaska faces ongoing corrosion repair on the Peace River deck. Since 1960 the 712 metre two lane span carries Alaska Highway traffic, with 5,000 vehicles daily and heavy trucks comprising 10 to 30 percent. Planners warn replacement timing could disrupt economy and detours would lengthen travel. Officials describe an end of life for the deck and debate whether to replace with steel or concrete, with substantial regional impact.
