Project Description
The Broadway’s former lift span deck was made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structural members. The FRP decking on the movable spans was retaining water and the structural beams were beginning to fail, resulting in the need for extensive temporary repairs by county maintenance. The deck and supporting beams were replaced with concrete-filled steel. This is the same type of deck that can be seen on the Morrison Bridge.
During construction, the streetcar tracks were removed and replaced.
