The truss members will be strengthened and work also includes repairments on several parts of the bridge. Additionally protective coating will be applicated and 4,300 linear meters of electrical conduit and wiring will be replaced, as well as the existing movable barrier and machine, that configures the number of lanes on the road in each direction.
