Bridge

Creekside Drive Bridge Replacement Complete

The new Creekside Drive Bridge is now open to traffic! The former bridge had reached the end of its useful life and needed replacing, so over the past few months, crews completely demolished the old bridge, created a new bridge and restored the surrounding area. We appreciate your patience as crews worked to complete this important infrastructure work.
