Built in 1948, it has been closed for about eight years because it's deteriorating. Thursday morning, the city council morning awarded a contract to tear down the old bridge -- which in the past was the site of several homeless encampments.
The job will go to Evans Brothers Incorporated of Livermore which put in a low bid of $968,000.
Demolition could begin in March, and is expected to be finish by the end of May.
