Centralville Bridge to be Put in First Class Condition
Centralville will begin extensive repairs on the bridge with a 11,500 spending plan. Traffic will be congested for at least a month as one walk is replanked and one rail line replaced, with portions kept open for pedestrians and some rail delays likely. Contractors will strengthen underpinning, install new rails and heavy paint, and the bridge will be block paved. About 70 workers will be employed, with coordination needed for railroad schedules.
