Photo Album: Pickering Bridge Replacement
The "Ice Dam Bridge" of State Road (Route 29) over the Pickering Creek in Charlestown Township was closed for replacement on October 29, 2001. Less than eight months later, and three months ahead of schedule, the new bridge opened on June 13, 2002.
During the latter stages of construction and the ribbon cutting ceremonies, we have posted several sets of photographs depicting progress on the new bridge. Use the links below to view these photos.
