Spring Street bridge may be repaired this summer
The village is finalizing details on the Spring Street bridge deck replacement project. Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, provided a report to council on Feb. 22.
His report stated that he met recently with Brion Rhodes on the project. As the schedule stands currently the project is projected have bid advertisements in April. Those bids may be awarded by council at the second meeting in May.
Construction could take place from early July through October. No cost estimates were issued on the project on Feb. 22.
The bridge has been closed since the August 2007 flood. The closing of the bridge has caused several traffic problems in the village. The major problem is that DTR Industries associates have only one way to drive to and from DTR. That path is Main Street. The other problem is that persons driving to the Spring Street recyle center need to also use Main Street and take the long way around to the center.
