Three Options Considered for Edwards Crossing Bridge Replacement
The Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Edwards Crossing Bridge Replacement is available for review through November 14.
The bridge was built in 1904 and is considered structurally deficient. Three options are under consideration: building a new 200-foot bridge, constructing a new 500-foot bridge, or continuing to use the existing bridge. The historic bridge would be preserved in any of the options.
