Steel Arrives on Bridge Avenue



Steel girders for the Bridge Avenue Bridge arrived on Bridge Avenue early Tuesday morning. Many onlookers stood in wonderment, pondering the sheer size of what they were seeing. "Those things are huge." exclaimed Joan McGrath of 2nd Street.

According to Commissioner of Public Works Ken Radliff, the 100-145ft girders managed to maneuver city streets without incident.


The Bridge Avenue Bridge has been under construction since the summer and is expected to be completed in November. The 6.6 million dollar project is being funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Parking restrictions are in place for Bridge Avenue as well as Park Avenue and Ontairo Streets for today and Wednesday as more steel is expected to arrive.
