University Avenue Bridge - UPDATE

City Engineer Lisa DeMeo reports that steel work is expected to be completed by December 17. Final repairs and site cleanup will be complete approximately one week later and THE BRIDGE WILL RE-OPEN BY THE END OF DECEMBER. These dates are subject to change due to weather conditions. Design and construction are on budget.

Thanks and credit must go out to Lisa DeMeo and her staff, the general contractor, James Gross, and the subcontractors. As was previously reported the State did another inspection after the repair work commenced. That inspection revealed additional needed repairs. Due to the time it takes to procure steel, this development could have drastically affected the schedule, but the hard work of those involved kept the project on schedule.

Special thanks to the Lowell Police Department, T.J. McCarthy, Asst. CM/DPW Commissioner, Public Works Department, Traffic Engineer Jeff Gomes, and all other staff who worked on the project and devised the traffic management and traffic details that kept traffic flowing though the City.
