Columbus Riverwalk bridge repair takes shape
SUMMARY: The Columbus Riverwalk Pedestrian Bridge in Mississippi is undergoing repairs, and the necessary equipment is starting to arrive. Components for the cranes that will be used for heavy lifting have been delivered to the Lowndes County Port. So far, a 110-ton crane and a 210-ton crane have been assembled. A crane pad will need to be built and barges set in place before work can begin. If all goes well, the project should be completed in about six months. The majority of the repair costs will be covered by a settlement with the company responsible for hitting the bridge in 2020.
