The substructure for the bridge consisted of 4 solid wall piers founded on pile supported spread footings along with stub abutments. The project also included a realignment of the approach roadway to improve the alignment and maintain traffic on the existing bridge during proposed bridge construction. Services included both Phase I planning and Phase II plan development.
