Show ftlotsb's hX Creek Bridge Being Replaced Last July 30 the bridge over Millcreek on Spanish Valley Drive in Moab was washed out and damged beyond repair. This week, bids were opened by the Utah Department Depart-ment of Transportation on a contract to remove remnants . of the old bridge and build a new one. L. A. Young Sons of Richfield, Utah, submitted the apparent low bid of $198,659 for the job. The official engineer's estimate was $175,100. Because the bid exceeds the estimate by more I than 10, UDOT will review the project before a contract can be awarded. UDOT District Four Precon-struction Precon-struction Engineer Archie Hamilton of Price said the bridge has been completely redesigned. "We have increased in-creased the span of the bridge and have included some channel modifications in the plans," said Mr. Hamilton. He said the completed bridge will carry two lanes of traffic and a sidewalk on its west side. The contract stipulates that the bridge will be completed by January 1, 1977. |
