  • Wooden decking, trestles, timbers, and railing removed
  • West span top flange sandblasted, primed, and recoated
  • Prep work for repairs to girders (sandblasting and recoating)
  • Pre-engineered bridge spans designed (delivery in September)
  • New bearings designed
  • Timber ties numbered and removed for replacement in order (and permanent replacement if needed)
  • Steel gusset repairs on west span are complete
