Construction : Steels Corners Bridge Rehabilitation

The Steels Corners Bridge over Mud Brook is Summit County's longest bridge, stretching over 1,000 feet. In order to keep the 15-span bridge in good working order, SCE is replacing the bridge expansion joints, overlay the bridge deck with concrete, replace approach guardrail, and miscellaneous other repairs.

Status:

Environmental requirements are cleared and the project was bid on 03/11/2024. BECDIR Construction was awarded this contract.  Construction is planned to start after July 15th, 2024, weather permitting.
