Work on the Manchester Bridge included routine and fracture critical inspections; coordination with the contractor performing rehabilitation work, local businesses, and railroad flagmen; right lane closure using an A-75 Snooper, and non-destructive ultrasonic testing on pin and hanger assemblies for 96 pines. The contract also included underwater inspection of the Mayo Bridge.
