Dry River Bridge being dismantled

THE National Works Agency is advising pedestrians, cyclists and motorists that it will begin dismantling the Bailey bridge located on piers of the collapsed Dry River Bridge in Harbour View, St Andrew on Monday.

The dismantling is expected to be completed by the end of the month, after which a walk-way with rails along the ford for use by pedestrians will be constructed.

Pedal cyclists will have to use the Ford. All road users are advised to obey posted warning signs and the instruction of flag persons.

Kier Construction Limited won the $8.9 million contract for the design and construction of the new bridge, under the Transportation Infrastructure Rehabilitation Programme.

The existing bridge collapsed during the flood caused by the passage of Tropical Storm Gustav on August 28 and 29, 2008. The new structure will accommodate four lanes of traffic, consistent with the requirements given and projected traffic volumes along the Eastern Kingston corridor.
