New Fiberglass Bridge To Replace Centennial Park's Red Steel Bridge

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (WJZ) -- The Howard County Department of Recreation and Parks is expected to initiate a replacement project of Centennial Park's steel bridge on October 21.

"I am committed to ensuring Howard County remains a safe and healthy place for generations to come," said Howard County Executive Calvin Ball. "The replacement of this steel bridge with fiberglass will require less upkeep and provide a more environmentally-friendly structure so that it can be enjoyed by all for many years."

Howard County Recreation and Parks said the new bridge is expected to take three to four weeks to complete and will be made of fiberglass, providing a more environmentally friendly structure.

Detour signs will be in place to guide park visitors around the site.
