45th Street Bridge Repairs Done
Good news for drivers who use 45th Street to get to the county dump.
Emergency repairs to the bridge over the turnpike are completed and it will reopen by 9 a.m. Saturday.
The bridge was struck by a truck carrying an oversized forklift April 18. It’s been closed since.
It was the fourth time since December and the 12th time since 1986 that the bridge had been nit.
Built in 1957, the bridge has a clearance of 14 feet, 7 inches. Later this year, construction is slated to begin on a new bridge with a 16 foot, 6 inch clearance.
