Multiple Major Bridges Reopen After Extended Repairs Nationwide

Several critical bridge projects across the U.S. have recently reached completion, restoring vital transportation links and improving infrastructure. The historic Louise Bridge, closed since May for maintenance and extended repairs, will reopen after delays, with plans approved for its long-term extension. In San Bernardino, the $270 million Mt. Vernon Avenue Bridge, closed for five years due to structural issues, has been rebuilt with wider lanes, bike paths, and seismic upgrades, celebrated with a reopening event. Pennsylvania replaced a deteriorated bridge over Dolphin Run after an emergency closure, enhancing safety and traffic flow for nearly 4,000 daily vehicles. San Diego reopened the Tovar Street Bridge following a year of construction, despite challenges from concurrent roadwork, reflecting federal investment in local infrastructure. In Texas, a flood-damaged Cow Creek Bridge was rebuilt in record time through expedited state efforts, featuring wider lanes and improved design to reconnect communities quickly.
