SUMMARY: The River Avenue Bridge project, expected to be completed today, has seen progress but faces another delay due to difficulties with guard rail pouring. Construction company TL Wallace has fixed the issue, with crews now working on finishing the bridge's deck. Sidewalk sections have been poured and overhang forms removed. Next steps include grading, SE area work, and finishing the bridge deck. No completion date is given, with grinding needed determining the time required. A small portion of South Main Street will remain closed for two to three months after the bridge opens. Progress updates are available on the Forest County Board of Supervisors' Facebook page.
