We wrapped up May with some important structural adjustments and preparation for steel installation at the Waterway Village Pedestrian Bridge!Here's an update on where we stand as of June 1:𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐲The concrete and roadway contractors will return to the site in Fall 2026. The final asphalt wearing surface for the north side of E. 2nd St. will be constructed after the bridge superstructure is built and placed over the ICW. The areas on the north side of E. 2nd St. in and around 25th Ave will be completed alongside the BASE section following that bridge superstructure placement.𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧This area is currently under revision as the contractor has decided to modify the anchor bolt layout on the west side of the South Bridge Bent to properly accommodate existing spacing.𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬The submittal process and procurement remain ongoing, and we are seeing great progress on the towers' steel infrastructure:𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫: Crews are actively constructing various steel elements, including the exterior panel framing, stairs, and the walking platform that will eventually connect the elevator tower to the pedestrian bridge.𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫: The contractor is preparing to move over to the North Elevator Tower next week to begin installing its steel components.𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬: Plans are also in place to begin pouring concrete for the stairs on the South Elevator Tower next week.𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬The south side of E. 2nd St. remains open to normal traffic operations. For motorists traveling north of the ICW, please remember that access is limited to local traffic only during the pedestrian bridge superstructure construction phase.𝐓𝐰𝐨-𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝Over the next 14 days, teams will continue fabricating the South Elevator Tower steel components and kick off steel work on the North Elevator Tower. Expect to see periodic welding inspections on-site to verify the integrity of the new steel construction. Looking slightly further ahead, construction of the main pedestrian bridge superstructure is planned to begin in early July once all tower steel components are finalized. Baldwin EMC: 800-837-3374
