Repairs to the overpass bridge linking Duke Street and Ben Brenman Park, near Cameron Station, are scheduled to begin this month, and the city is hosting a community meeting on the project.
The city estimates that the $2.5 million repair project will be completed by November, and it includes periodic lane closures on Breman Park Drive and Duke Street near the bridge during construction hours, according to the city. The project schedule is also contingent on the weather.
In 2008, the overpass bridge was named after Richard B. Liebach, the former vice chair of the planning commission, who had passed away the previous year.
According to the city’s public notice letter for the project:
The Cameron Overpass project consists of performing preventive, restorative maintenance and repair activities to prevent further deterioration of the bridge and extending the structure’s service life. The scope includes concrete surface repairs, replacing damaged guardrail, reseal expansion joint, reset/replace existing bearing plates, replace anchor bolt, reseal joints between concrete slop protection and abutments, and repair spalled and delaminated concrete on the piers, abutments and wingwalls.
The City will host the meeting at the Charles E. Beatley Jr. Central Library (5005 Duke Street) and online via Zoom with contractor Martins Construction on Monday, June 30, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
