Removal and replacement of piers and the fender system will also be done during these stages, as well as the installation of navigational lights, light poles, and bridge fence and railing.
There will be drainage work and the construction of temporary pavement on both sides of the bridge for a southbound traffic crossover.
These stages are expected to be complete by Summer 2025.
