Bridge finished a month early; contractor to reap $1M bonus
STERLING – Work to rebuild the main artery connecting Sterling and Rock Falls is being completed a month ahead of schedule.
Freeport-based Civil Constructors began work on the $27 million First Avenue Bridge project in mid-January. Monday, crews painted the final stripes on the road, and the bridge was opened from two lanes to four.
The deadline to complete the project is Nov. 16. Each day saved earns the contractor an extra $33,333, up to 30 days, for a total of $1 million.
