The plans and specifications for the bridge are nearly complete. The City will begin advertising the project for construction next week with a bid opening at the end of August. At part of the road re-alignment, Lair Road was closed earlier this week so City's crews could work on the water service for the Channel Inn. Construction for the new bridge is expected to begin sometime in September. The City's construction page has a image of the new alignment of Lair Road and the location for the new bridge.
