Work has been completed six weeks early on the Big Bear Brook Bridge, and the section of Old Trenton Road affected by the work has now been re-opened.##M:[more]##
Work on the 83-year-old bridge — one of the worst-rated in the state — began in February. The county re-opened it on April 24.
The new bridge spans 22.5 feet with two lanes 12 feet wide, two shoulders 3 feet wide, and two sidewalks 6 feet wide. It also has no weight restriction. The old bridge had a 7-ton weight limit and no sidewalks.
