The closure will begin Monday, Jan. 11 and is expected to last through early August. A detour will be established using Main, Wells, and Spring streets. <\/p>\n<p>Primco, Inc., is the primary contractor for the work with a project investment of $2.5 million. The scope of work includes the super structure replacement of the bridge and scour protection. In addition, there will be a trail constructed, wider sidewalks, and a decorative railing and lighting.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge was originally built in 1934 and reconstructed in 1994. It has a current load limit of 14 tons, giving it a rating of 5 out of 10. The existing pre-stressed concrete box beams are cracking, and the improvement project is necessary to prevent a future full closure of the river crossing from further deterioration of the support beams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/tag\/van-buren-street-bridge-replacement-project\/\">View more AFW posts on the Van Buren Street Bridge replacement project<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/wells\/81643.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Judi Wire, WCBA President, displays one of the &quot;Tin Caps&quot;.
