The new bridge will require two new abutments with wingwalls, super structure and roadway approach reconstruction, and possible realignment. Visitor center access could impact closure time or staged construction. Summer season (mid-June through Labor Day) access requirements still need to be determined and agreed upon with NPS. Schedule B: Vancampens Glen Bridge consists of a single span concrete encased steel beam bridge and is located in Warren County, NJ. The work at this site includes mill and overlay of asphalt roadway approaches, embankment protection, erosion repair or riprap at the NE, SE, SW wingwalls, and miscellaneous bridge maintenance.
