The project included the complete replacement of the bridge, including abutments on piles, and conventional steel girders with a concrete bridge deck.  The existing abutments were preserved and the new abutments were installed behind them and attached with a concrete cap beneath the bridge deck.

      Construction began on January 11, 2016, and the road opened 10 days ahead of schedule and within budget.  The prime contractor is Arborio Corporation; the project cost is $4.5 million. 

      In addition to the bridge work, the road and sidewalks were reconstructed.  A retaining wall was built on the corner of the intersection along with curved, granite-capped steps leading to the building at 1 Main Street.  The retaining wall and abutments were faced with stone and capped with granite.  Pilasters were constructed at the ends of the bridge and also were stone-faced and capped with granite.  Other streetscape elements were included in the project as well, including items such as granite curbing, cobblestone accents, decorative lighting, benches, bike racks and a decorative crosswalk.
