According to the project description, the rehabilitation will address the structural deficiencies of the bridges, which are currently in poor condition.
Superstructure replacements will occur during weekend bridge closures, the project description says. Temporary crossovers will be constructed in the median to allow for two lanes of both I-684 northbound and southbound to remain open during construction.
