"Ths bridge is scheduled for reconstruction because of the deteriorated condition of the abutments and the deck. The vertical alignment has also been redesigned to bring it into compliance with today's geometric standards, and to provide safe sight distances. The bridge will be widened to accomodate increased vehicular traffic.
"Ayres, Lewis, Norris and May, Inc. or Ann Arbor, Michigan has prepared Contract Documents for the reconstruction. ALNM is also repsonsible for the HAER documentation of the structure."
