The San Pedro River Bridge on State Route 90 in Cochise County is an important connection along the primary corridor between the communities of Sierra Vista, Tombstone and Bisbee. The bridge, constructed in 1955, is to be replaced by a new structure that features wider traffic lanes and shoulders that meet current standards and provide adequate space for vehicles – including emergency responders, bicycles and pedestrians.
The new bridge will:
- Increase in width from the current 26 feet to 44 feet
- Feature 12-foot traffic lanes in both directions and 10-foot shoulders
- Begin construction in the fall of 2012
- Be completed by spring of 2014*
- Cost an estimated $6.2 million
*Schedule is subject to change due to weather and other unforeseeable circumstances that might arise during construction.
