UPDATED: Bridge Replacement Project on Route 13 Business in Salisbury Continues
UPDATED – 10/04/24 – In June, construction on the first of 4 stages began – this includes closing 2 northbound lanes of Route 13 and shifting traffic to 2 temporary lanes while maintaining normal traffic flow southbound. This will allow for a safe work area for our contractor to demolish the east side of the bridge and begin reconstruction.
Demolition of the bridge deck was completed in September. The concrete on the northern bridge approach has been completed and the contractor has removed the Verizon vault. With the arrival of sheeting for the coffer dam, the removal of old piles will begin – along with the installation of the new piles
============================================================
On Monday, the Maryland State Highway Administration will begin the first major phase of the replacement of the Route 13 Business/South Salisbury Boulevard bridge over the Wicomico River. This is a 4-phase project that will be completed in 2026 ā weather permitting. Expect crews to begin closing the northbound lanes of Route 13 Business and shifting traffic over to two temporary lanes. Southbound traffic will remain as is.
This project will replace the original 1937 bridge and bring new ADA-compliant sidewalks on both sides of the bridge, a shared-use hiker and biker path on the east side between East Carroll Street and East Main Street, refined traffic signal timing at the Route 13 Business and East Carroll Street intersection to allow for lead time at pedestrian crossings and resurfacing on Route 13 Business between East Carroll and Calvert Streets.
