As of 6/8/2022, No Bids Were Received, the Town is unsure of Rebidding in the future. The existing timber bridge deck has been treated with creosote and emulsified asphalt.

Proposed improvements include installing corrugated metal roofing and flashing on the underside of the deck to contain discharge of the contaminants and to channel them to a drip pan to be located on the abutment beam seat. The project (Moore Lane Contain (1)) consists of installing Galvalume (or approved equal) steel roofing panels and flashing on the underside of a single span timber bridge deck as a containment measure.
