<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - Concrete Strategies LLC, contractor for the City of Columbia Public Works department, has completed work on the East Boulevard Bridge repair project. Effective immediately, Friday, Oct. 4, the bridge has been fully reopened to drivers and pedestrians.<br /><br />The project involved a two-week closure of the driving lanes and sidewalk while contractor crews applied an epoxy-based sealant to the bridge surface. This treatment seals cracks and enhances the durability and safety of both the roadway and pedestrian path.<br /><br />Public Works crews plan to close the bridge's sidewalk for one to two days next week for additional repairs. More information will follow in a future press release.<br /><br />The City of Columbia Public Works department would like to thank drivers and pedestrians affected by the detour for their patience throughout this project. We appreciate the cooperation of Columbia resi
dents as we work to maintain safe and reliable infrastructure for the entire community. <br /><br />Original press release: <a style="white-space:nowrap" href="https://www.como.gov/CMS/pressreleases/view.php?id=8912">CoMo.gov/CMS/pressreleases/view.php?id=8912</a></div>
