The Calhoun Street Toll Supported Bridge (also known as the Trenton City Bridge
On May 24, 2010, the bridge completely closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic to undergo much-needed renovations including truss repair and repainting, deck replacement, and repair of approaches.[3] The rehabilitation project was completed October 8, 2010, and the bridge was rededicated in a ceremony on October 12.[5]
The bridge helps connect segments of the East Coast Greenway, a 3,000-mile-long (4,800 km) trail system connecting Maine to Florida.
Restrictions
Currently, the bridge is limited to 3 short tons (2.7 t) at 15 miles per hour (24 km/h) with a clearance of 8 feet (2.4 m).[2]
