Historic Railway Bridge Rebuild Right on Track
December 6, 2014
Crews from The Ruhlin Company, based in Ohio, began work on the reconstructifon of Norfolk Southern Railway’s bridge in Michigan’s Monroe County last April and they are looking at completing the nearly $10 million project in May 2015.
The 450 ft. (137 m) bridge (single track), built in 1887, spans the Raisin River. The structure has undergone some repairs and minor rehabilitations in the past, but has stood up well to the elements and extensive use.
