Skanska USA, the lead bridge contractor, has passed another significant milestone with the first phase of the 210 East Bridge near Sant Anita offramp making its mark.
The beam which advises motorists of a 15 foot height limit is just one part of the multi million dollar project.
The final design of the bridge, with its basket-shaped supports inspired the Tongva tribe, was approved last November. The bridge’s deep foundations were completed in October and installation of the abutments and the main columns was recently completed.
Closure of all eastbound lanes will take place from midnight to 5a.m. on weekdays and some Saturdays; eastbound onramps at Rosemead Boulevard, and Michillinda and Baldwin avenues will close at about 9 p.m., and closures will begin at about 10 p.m. All lanes are set to reopen by 6 a.m. the following day.
During the shutdowns, traffic will be detoured at Baldwin, along Foothill Boulevard to Santa Anita.
