“The purpose of the project is to rehabilitate Bridge 01729, which was originally constructed in 1964. The project is being initiated to address the structural deficiencies of the existing structure to improve the condition of the bridge to a state of good repair. Bridge 01729 carries Route 8 Southbound with two lanes of traffic,” DOT said in a release. “A full superstructure replacement is recommended due to the deterioration of the existing concrete bridge deck and impact damage to structural components, with components of the existing bridge rated to be in poor condition.”
