This Agreement will provide funding for the construction of a new East Long Avenue Bridge to replace east bound and west bound East Long Avenue Bridges and approach roadways. The estimated cost for the new bridge is $411,528.60. The City's cost share is 10 percent of the estimated total cost ($411,528.60). Under the Equivalent-Match program initiated by the State (Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, Section 15.55(d)), no direct payment by the City is required if the Local Government agrees to perform structural improvements in an equal dollar amount to other deficient bridge(s) or cross drainage structure within its jurisdiction.

Trentman Street Bridge over Tributary to Lake Arlington (Bridge No. 02-220-ZT76-01-001). The estimated cost for the reconstruction of Trentman Street Bridge is $494,000.00. This project can be funded from 2014 Bond Program in FY2017 - Bridges funds in the amount of$10 million that were dedicated for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of deficient bridge structures.
