Project Summary:

The project includes placing a Latex-Modified Structural Concrete (LSDC) overlay on the bridge deck to strengthen and protect the surface while improving ride quality.

Crews will also replace the approach slabs and resurface the approach pavement to provide a smoother transition on and off the bridge.
