Uhlertown - Frenchtown Bridge Repairs 2001

     
During 2001 lead paint was removed from the Uhlertown - Frenchtown Bridge.   On weekdays, the bridge was closed to traffic, but it was open on weekends. These photos were taken on the weekend.

 

   
Rigging was placed on the outside of the bridge for workers to remove the paint.   The paint was removed by sandblasting and contained by large tarps (not shown in these pictures) so that the lead would not pollute the river below.
