The bridge between Sycamore and Sennett streets was closed to traffic since June 1 for the project.
Bridges are inspected and categorized as either good, fair or poor condition. This bridge’s condition, deck and superstructure were all rated as poor, according to the 2021 National Bridge Inventory, a database maintained by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration that compiles bridge information and inspection reports for every state.
A structural appraisal of the bridge, which was built in 1930 and reconstructed in 1970, showed it was “basically intolerable requiring high priority of corrective action,” according to NBI.
The bridge was among nearly two dozen in Montgomery County considered to be in “poor” condition, NBI said.
