Contractors working on a highway project in Georgia have made emergency bridge repairs after they spotted fast-spreading deck damage.
The 135-ft, three-span mainline bridge carries northbound Interstate 85 over a CSX railroad in Jackson County. It was built in 1958 and is one of six bridges scheduled to be replaced as part of the second phase of an I-85 widening project, which is part of the larger Georgia Dept. of Transportation Major Mobility Investment Program to create additional capacity, enhance safety and decrease travel times on important routes across the state.
