Bridge replacement project progresses in Warren County
A $48.4 million bridge project began in 2013 and is due for completion in December. The new structure replaces a 1941 bridge, which surpassed its 50 year lifespan by 25 years before dismantling after the first phase opened last year. Remaining two lanes form an extension on the site, with completion about 86 percent per Warren County Administrator Doug Stanley in a recent town council report.
