We are very lucky this bridge didn't fail in service.

Drove over this bridge, and kayaked under it, many, many times. Glad to hear they've got it done.

I don't know what technique they used but I'll tell you: fixing scour problems for a bridge such as this isn't easy.

Looks like a very nice Closed Spandrel Arch Bridge. What pieces of history!
