A new bridge will be built to modern design standards.The new structure will be approximately 15 feet taller to provide more than 20 feet of vertical clearance over full pool, allowing for larger boat access under the new bridge.The road is expected to close for 18 months. An off-site detour will be implemented to allow the contractor to construct the bridge on the existing alignment and complete construction faster.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=26I9sj_1CtcLtRb00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=26I9sj_1CtcLtRb00" width="1300" height="730" ></figure>Marine traffic may continue to use Soap Creek while construction takes place. </div></body>
