Big Dam Bridge facelift
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District and Pulaski County announce the commencement of a facelift project for the Big Dam Bridge. Crews from Pulaski County are currently pressure washing the bridge, using only water to ensure environmental safety.
The pressure washing began on the southwest ramp and will continue from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays until the project is completed. The public is asked to avoid the work areas whenever possible. During inclement weather, crews will focus on the main section of the bridge to minimize disruption to pedestrians.
Additional crews will also be onsite to assess and repair other cosmetic issues such as touching up paint on the railings and patching chipped or damaged concrete.
The Big Dam Bridge officially opened to the public in 2006 to promote health and fitness by providing a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists between Little Rock and North Little Rock.
