Contractor Schedules December Opening of New Albany Bridge
What: The contractor building the new US 82 Bu/State Route 520 Bu/Oglethorpe Boulevard bridge over the Flint River has scheduled an opening date in December. The new bridge replaces one that was built in 1953 and was designed based on vehicles that are not as heavy as those driven today. The old bridge also had an unknown foundation that could have been at risk for scour, which is erosion of soil and sediment caused by the flow of water that can undermine the bridge support. The new bridge has four travel lanes, a sidewalk on the north side and a 12-foot shared use path on the south side. The west/civic center end of the bridge has turn lanes for Front Street traffic so it is wider than the east end.
