Matthew N. Wells / The Daily World An extensive, complex and technical process that has included city staff, city councilors, consultants and residents, which will all help decide on what to do with the North Aberdeen Bridge, will come to its end this summer. For now, there are three bridge alternatives. But now, the process becomes more advanced, according to Nick Bird, Aberdeen’s city engineer, who shared this quote Thursday afternoon. ““In the level 2 screening, we will be digging into any potential fatal flaws and fleshing out these alternatives increasing the detail and our understanding of the construction cost, utility impacts, right-of-way impacts, environmental impacts, funding risk and other decision criteria.”
