County transportation staff report progress on Brooklyn Road bridge and local roadway work
County transportation staff updated the Executive Committee on ongoing projects including the Brooklyn Road bridge, township seal coating, and a railroad crossing tie‑in on Rock Island Road.

Dave Anderson told the committee crews recently poured the south pier cap, completed pile encasement and the south abutment and have moved operations to the north side, where coffer dams and additional pile work were under way. Anderson said precast, prestressed concrete deck beams will be set after caps cure and that the county’s goal is a September 15 completion date for the bridge’s major work.

“Their goal really is September 15 on a completion date,” Anderson said, describing follow‑on tasks: post‑tensioning the beams, waterproofing, and paving of the approach work. He said the approach paving will proceed more quickly once concrete work is finished.

Anderson also updated the committee on township seal coating: crews had begun work after the written report was prepared and expected several weeks of steady work to complete remaining townships. On Rock Island Road, he said a Union Pacific track crew installed new crossings that left the approaches slightly higher than before, creating a rough westbound tie‑in the county may try to smooth with a grader until a full repaving can be scheduled in future years.

No motions or votes were taken; the presentation was informational.
