Boulevard bridge project continues

Forbes Avenue was closed last weekend to allow workers to remove the Boulevard of the Allies bridge as part of a $29 million bridge replacement project. The span was dropped onto a cushion of dirt, timber and steel plates designed to protect the roadway and underground utilities.

Forbes Avenue was cleared in time to allow Monday morning traffic to flow smoothly into Oakland.

Another weekend-long closure of Forbes Avenue is scheduled for Feb. 9 &10 to allow contractors to remove the remaining south ramp. The bridge replacement project, begun last spring, is scheduled to wrap up in November.
