Jeffersonville, August 23, 2004 - The multi-layered bridge roadway is being reassembled using the original design. The 8" x 8" floorbeams removed when the bridge was disassembled have been returned and re-spaced, with six new beams. The existing 6" x 6" stringers were placed on the floorbeams and new 3" x 10" transverse sub-floor planks spaced on these. New 3" x 8" longitudinal deck planks protected by new 3" x 8" oak running planks complete the new floor. The distribution beams (or "hanging beams") installed under the bridge in the 1970s will not be replaced.

The transverse sub-floor planks have been placed and spaced. The longitudinal deck planks are being lag bolted to the sub-floor.
