Andrea said the removal of the old Hyde’s Bridge is set to start in late May.
“The contractor is building a crane pad to aid in the removal of the existing structure,” he said.
He added any in-water work can not take place until June.
“The current completion and opening for the bridge is still Fall 2023,” said Andrea.
