The Allen County Engineers will close the bridge for repairs for six weeks beginning Tuesday, Dec. 1. During the annual bridge inspection the county discovered some things under the bridge that need repaired. It should be noted that the bridge carries a 5-ton limit, meaning that many semi-trailers should avoid the bridge.
