Job Summary
The demolition of the bridge, built in 1955, capped a more than $18 million project replacing the failing structure that carried Carlson Road across the river with a new bridge expected to last 100 years.
With a hard concrete deck instead of a steal grate, wider shoulders, and a bike and walking path on the east side, the new bridge marks a major success for the county’s public works department. The project cost nearly $7 million less than expected and was completed ahead of a December deadline.
