TRANSPORTATION/PUBLIC WORKS--APPLE RIVER BRIDGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Transportation and Public Works will install a
temporary one lane bridge over the Apple River in Cumberland
County.
The temporary structure should be in place by the end of the
month and will serve traffic in the area until a permanent bridge
is built.
The Apple River Bridge, on Shulie Road, between Advocate and
Joggins, collapsed April 1, after being struck by a tractor
trailer.
The department is reviewing its options on replacing the bridge
with a permanent two-lane structure.
