Continental Replaces Deteriorating Pedestrian Overpass
 
Originally constructed in 1980, the existing structure carried pedestrian traffic over Kenduskeag Stream to various destinations in Bangor, Maine. After a study conducted in 2016 determined that the original structure had reached its life expectancy, it was replaced with a Connector®-style Continental® Pedestrian Truss for its competitive cost, aesthetics, and lightweight construction which allowed for the existing abutments and piers to be reused.
