an average daily traffic count of 82,940 vehicles.
This bridge was constructed in 1968 and was
widened in 2002 to allow another bridge to
connect to this structure.
Repair of this bridge will be a challenge due to existing traffic.
There isn't any frontage roads to redirect traffic to which will
cause major problems to the local business and residents.
Another challenge is the existence of the two railroad tracks
located beneath these structures. Close coordination will be
required with the Railroad company.
