West Side Span Renovation Adds Modern Engineering Touch
The West Side bridge, built in 1876, gains a major repair to extend its life. When finished it will carry two traffic lanes with a center open for future use and no trolley tracks. The plan includes electric welded construction, a three inch steel grid floor, 400 tons removed for 100 tons of new material, and a six mile per hour one way traffic rule during work. Three shifts of watchmen manage motorists with completion slated for early September.
