Reminder…
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District, and Pulaski County have initiated a revitalization project for the iconic Big Dam Bridge. The project, which began with a thorough pressure washing of the southwest ramp, aims to restore the bridge’s appearance and ensure its continued safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
To minimize environmental impact, crews are using only water during the pressure washing process. The cleaning operations are scheduled to take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays until completion, and the public is advised to avoid the work areas whenever possible. In the event of inclement weather, crews will prioritize the main section of the bridge to reduce disruptions for pedestrians.
In addition to pressure washing, the project will include other cosmetic repairs such as repainting railings and patching damaged concrete. These efforts will help maintain the bridge’s aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
The Big Dam Bridge, which opened to the public in 2006, has become a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, providing a safe and scenic route for pedestrians and cyclists between Little Rock and North Little Rock. This revitalization project is a testament to the commitment of the Little Rock District and Pulaski County to preserving this valuable community asset. (link)
