Haven't heard anyone talk lately...How is the bridge coming? When will it be finished?
Saw the cranes from I55 the other day so I would say no, not scheduled to be done till this summer.
I did a little search, hwy 51/coldwater river bridge. 10 entries on the first page and one was from face book with the best answer.
Last I heard we had one section of concrete to pour and some blacktop but it has to warm up before they can start again. Hopes are to open the 1st of Feb.
That would be ahead of schedule, hope they can pull it off.
Feb 1st this year? They gonna have to hurry !!!!
The original schedule was Oct 1, 2017 with a 6 month lead way. I think it will be finished on time.
Construction personnel are driving across both bridges now. They have milled the asphalt on end of the bridges and looked like they are just cleaning up. They had people out this morning working. Think they put the asphalt down, paint the lines and finish tidying up and she will be open very soon.
Awesome !!!!
That is great news!!!
Big help.
Paper said March 1 opening.
Attention!!! Original bridge blew out from all the crappie being hauled out over it. No need to go any further south than Butla. Finally, Yipeee!
Like G said this is slower passage between Hernando and Coldwater, I-55 is about 2 miles to the east. As of now if you're traveling from the south, you want to camp/fish Hernando Point add about 20 miles to your trip. Kdavid lives just north of the bridge, add 20 miles to anywhere south for him.
Since North lake and Lakeview closed I'd say 80/90% off the fish head north across the state line.Quote:
