 The project will involve complete removal of the existing bridge.
A new precast concrete deck beam bridge will be constructed, along
with improvements to the roadway to match the elevation of the new
bridge. The existing bridge was built in 1952 and has structural
issues requiring it to have posted weight restrictions.
The project will take place during the summer months, but a date
has not yet been set.
The roadway will be closed to traffic during the entire project,
which is expected to take about two months to complete.
A construction bid amount of $140,535.70 was awarded to Midwest
Bridge and Crane, of Good Hope. The state will pay 80 percent of the cost through a
portion of the motor fuel tax. The remaining 20 percent will be
split between Logan County and Eminence Township.
Additional information will be made available when a start date
has been determined.
