Pile-supported abutments will be <br /> <br /> erected behind each of the existing sea walls on the north and south ends of the bridge. <br /> <br /> At high tide the new bridge will prove an additional 2 1/2 feet of clearance, allowing small boats to enter the South River.<br /> <br /> After nearly a year of construction, Congress St. bridge reopened Oct. 4th 1996, just in time for the Halloween rush.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Browse Index]]<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> &quot;Vertical File in Salem Collection - &#039;&#039;&#039;Congress St. Drawbridge&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> &quot;Emergency repairs made to the city bridge&quot; &#039;&#039;Salem Evening News&#039;&#039;, June 1, 1994, p. 1<br /> <br /> &quot;Ruane secures state funds for Congress St. bridge repair&quot; &#039;&#039;Salem Evening News&#039;&#039;, June 8, 1994, p. 15<br /> <br /> &quot;Traffic delays expected during Congress St. repairs&quot; &#039;&#039;Salem Evening News&#039;&#039;, Sept. 15, 1995, p.
