Bridge deck repair starts soon on Riverside Road

On Thursday, June 6, 2024 Midwest Epoxy will begin performing repairs to the deck on the bridge on Riverside Road (W61) over North Fork Long Creek, approximately 0.4 miles north of 220th Street (G36.) This project will have the contractor inject the deck with an epoxy resin to repair voids and delamination of the deck.

Washington County Engineer Jacob Thorius stated, “This repair work is necessary to help prolong the life of the existing bridge.”

Thorius said the work would take about two days, weather permitting.

In order to accomplish this work safely, the contractor will require one lane to be closed while they are working on one side of the bridge. This closure will help protect those working and ensure room for the contractor to park equipment out of the way and allow the traveling public to still move through the area. The lane closure will be facilitated with the use of temporary traffic signals to direct the public through the work zone. Drivers are urged to slow down and use caution when traveling through the work zone. Any questions regarding this project may be direct to the Washington County Engineer’s Office.
