Aug. 19, 2010 - Heavy Area Rains Delay Work - Due the unusually heavy rains this time of year and the rise in the river elevations to almost 9 feet, the bridge contractor has been unable to complete critical work tasks within the proposed schedule.
We are currently evaluating the impact of these rain delays and the schedule will be revised. The contractor will continue to work to make up for these weather-related delays. However, this project was on an aggressive schedule and these extreme weather condition may have an effect on the completion date.
At this point, we anticipate that crews will be returning to work on Monday, August 23.
