Middlesboro Bridge
Project Overview
Emil Anderson Construction built to modern, resilient standards, addressing vulnerabilities of the previous structure while enhancing safety and capacity for both vehicles and active transportation.
Elevated 1.5 metres higher than the former structure, the bridge is designed to withstand a one-in-200-year flood event, manage 500 cubic metres of water per second (compared to the former bridge's 130 cubic metres), and accommodate two vehicle lanes alongside a dedicated pedestrian and cyclist lane.
