New "Road Work Ahead" sign alerts traffic to start of construction on new Churchill Bridge. Current bridge can been seen in the distance.
This is a good sign. It signals construction will begin soon on a new bridge that will replace Sportsman’s Span (also known as the Churchill Bridge) on FM 2611 over the San Bernard River .
The new bridge will have wider lanes and wider shoulders. It will be constructed on a site downriver from the old bridge which will remain open to traffic during the construction period. The new larger bridge will be a welcome change as we all have held our breath as we squeezed by an oversized vehicle passing in the opposite lane, always at the very top of the bridge.
