-----------------------------------

If all components of the project come together as planned the following is the schedule for repair of the dry bridge:

• On Monday, May 24, J.A. McDonald will begin removal of the existing pavement and membrane. This may take two to three days depending on how easy the existing membrane comes off. During the two to three days the bridge will remain closed around the clock. Concrete deck repair will take place at the same time if needed.
• After the existing pavement/membrane is completely removed and concrete deck repair completed the dry bridge will be reopened for traffic. Traffic will travel on the concrete deck.
• On Tuesday, June 1, NICOM will put down the primer and membrane.
• On Wednesday, June 2, a tack coat will be applied to the membrane and then ST Paving will repave the bridge. The two joints will be refilled.
• On June 1 the bridge will be closed around the clock.
• On June 2 the bridge should be reopened at the end of the work day.
• Work on June 1 and 2 is weather dependent.
