According to Assistant City Manager Gina Nash, the bridge construction on Pinson Road scheduled to begin today, July 10, at 9:00 a.m., has been delayed due to a scheduling issue with the bridge pier drilling crew.
General road construction in the area will continue as normal until the scheduling issue can be resolved. The City of Forney still hopes to make the goal of completing the bridge before the first day of school which is scheduled for August 26, 2013 – this will be dependent on the drilling crew's scheduling.
Once the bridge construction begins, the work is expected to last six to seven weeks.
From the City of Forney's Facebook Page:
“The City of Forney planned to close Pinson Road between Redbud and Magnolia beginning today for bridge construction. This closure has been delayed. Once a new date is scheduled, the City of Forney will release that information to the public when it becomes available.
If you have any questions, please contact the City of Forney at 972-564-7300.”
