The weekend of June 23 through 25 has been identified as a back-up weekend should inclement weather warrant.During the first weekend (June 9 – 11) crews will disassemble the scaffolding that has allowed workers to safely remove lead-based paint and make structural repairs to the bridge over the past two months. The bridge will be lowered to its final elevation during the week of June 11-15. During the second week, the contractor will pour the concrete trail and complete touch-up repairs.
