The west bridge that carries southbound traffic is deteriorating and the city is working to get grants to pay for the estimated $19.7 million cost to replace it. Public Works engineers will be on hand to go over preliminary design plans and get input from the community on minimizing impacts and how best to route traffic during construction.
