Site work, paving and renovation of a bridge / tunnel in North East, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a bridge / tunnel; for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

This is a single span steel beam bridge constructed in 1966 and rehabilitated in 1999. The structure has an overall length of 32.1 feet and a clear roadway width of approximately 21.6 feet and carries a two lane roadway. The bridge is currently not load posted and carries over 400 vehicles per day. The existing concrete deck exhibits advanced deterioration, the painted steel beams have wide-spread paint failure with minor to moderate corrosion with poor structural welds, and the reinforced concrete abutments exhibit spalling and cracking. The project will replace the existing concrete deck and steel beams with a new superstructure, repair the abutment deterioration, replace the bridge railings and upgrade the approach w-beam and end treatements. Without this project the bridge deterioration is expected to accelerate, potentially leading to posted bridge weight restrictions, and ultimatley closure of the bridge, if not addressed. The project is included in the Cecil County's FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of June 06, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
