The new bridge is a 12-span, 4-lane, 2-sidewalk structure that replaces the structurally deficient and functionally obsolete original bridge. The bridge is a vital element in the link between an Interstate freeway and a major trunk highway. It retains some of the character from the former bridge and spans a local street, railroad tracks, and a river.
