Magnolia Bridge Replacement Project Update

Submitted by Rep. Clif Richardson's Office

Crews are currently hauling embankment and driving piles, which act as a support for the bridge. They are also forming and pouring caps to be placed on top of the piles to form bents. These bents will allow crews to place girders, which are currently being casted. To date crews have driven 82 of 180 piles and poured 11 of 30 caps.
