M21 Bridge Project Update – March 2012

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Terry & Bonnie

M21 Bridge Project Update March 2012

Although it looks as though nothing is being done on the new

M21 bridge right now, it is still going forward. Warm temperatures

could help the construction team to finish by Memorial Day weekend.

If the weather is cold, concrete decking can’t be poured, so it

could delay the bridge opening to July 4th weekend.

Work on the bridge depends on warm temps right now, so the

last week or so is a good sign for early completion. Keep

watching progress, and it won’t be long until it is done!
