Workers started construction Monday on a bridge in Boone County that has been closed since February 2012.
Officials were forced to close Orth Road bridge once they discovered a 1-by-3-foot hole in the structure. Moisture and salt slipped through the asphalt to the concrete and ate away at the material.
Crews are currently preparing the site, installing traffic controls, removing trees and removing the structure, according to a press released emailed today. New concrete will be placed on the structure once conditions allow, likely in late April or May.
Construction should be completed in June.
