The project will replace a 113-year-old vertical lift 189-foot-long truss bridge with a new 215-foot-long rolling bascule truss span bridge. The scope of work includes replacement of the existing six steel approach bridges, rehabilitation of the existing concrete piers, removal of the timber protection walls along both sides of the navigation channel, installation of new steel pile protection wall along a new support pier, installation of a 38-foot-diameter sand-filled crash bumper for the new protection wall, and construction of a concrete support platform for the new operations building. The existing bridge structure will remain in service for both rail and marine traffic while construction of the new bridge is completed.
Work is expected to begin in July 2026 with substantial completion anticipated in December 2029. The undisclosed contract value will be reflected in the Company’s backlog for the second quarter of 2026.
