Bancroft Replacement Bridge Update: Progress continues to be made on this massive undertaking. To help you appreciate the size and scope of the project, notice the arrow in our first photo. It’s pointing to a worker in the south side’s foundation area. 🤯 He was guiding the load on the crane. 😮🫣Weather delays this winter and challenges with the existing north side foundation (photo 2) take the completion date out of April. It’s TBD at this point.
