Walters Street Bridge Update: The contractor is scheduled to begin pouring concrete for the Walters Street Bridge overlay later this week. The process will take 3-4 weeks to pour and cure before reopening the bridge to the traveling public in late November. Once the bridge reopens, the contractor will need to perform guard rail work.
