Ridge Road Bridge
Posted November 10, 2009, by Tom (tommyboy6181 [at] yahoo [dot] com)

This bridge is now in the final stages of complete replacement. It is expected to be completed in late 2009 or early 2010. The new bridge features through weathering steel girders for all spans and the roadway height was increased to be about halfway up on the old trusses.
