The hearing will take place during the next Operations Committee meeting March 20. The rehabilitation of the bridge was estimated to cost $6.7 million, according to a report from construction and engineering firm BL Companies. The bridge was built in 1888 and closed to cars in 2002. It deteriorated as lawmakers argued over how to replace it. The city put a prefabricated bridge, which cost $1.6 million and was open to pedestrian traffic only, next to the bridge in 2023 after the original bridge was closed to all traffic. Multiple representatives during a previous Operations Committee meeting last month, wanted to hold a public hearing on the project. The committee, however, voted 6-3 to move through the resolution on the bridge rehabilitation.
