A series of wide-load trucks will deliver 120 concrete
girders for the US 70 bridge near Bylas beginning Thursday. The delivery will
take place over 15 weeknights.
The new 15-span bridge is being constructed by the Arizona
Department of Transportation one mile west of Bylas to replace the existing
bridge that was built in 1957.
The deliveries will begin shortly after midnight on Thursday and travel from Phoenix
to Tucson, then from Tucson to Safford and west on US 70 to Bylas.
Motorists traveling on the route are advised to be alert fro
slow-moving oversized loads and drive with caution.
The $12.7 million project will feature wider lanes,
emergency shoulders and a pedestrian walkway. It is scheduled to be completed
in the spring of 2013.
