Council awarded ECI contract for bike-path bridge; construction largely prefabricated
Summary
Commissioners noted City Council awarded the construction contract for the long-planned bike-path bridge over the interstate to ECI, a contractor with local headquarters and prior experience; staff said much of the bridge will be built off-site and installed in a limited number of nights with an expected opening in the fall of 2028.
At the start of the meeting commissioners highlighted a recent City Council decision to award the construction contract for the long-planned bike-path bridge over the interstate to contractor ECI. A commissioner said ECI "do lots of projects" and recently built a similar interstate bridge in Richmond; another participant noted the company has a local headquarters.
Staff described much of the work as prefabricated: large pieces will be built off-site and installed across the interstate during a series of planned night-time operations. When asked about timing, a staff member said, "I think we're saying fall of 28 for opening." The commission did not take any formal action on the bridge at this meeting; the announcement was informational.
