Highway Department To Replace Old Creek Bridge Near Gallipolis
Gallipolis reports the state highway department will replace the antiquated State Highway 35 bridge over Chickamauga Creek two miles from town. A survey for a new site is under way, and Charles A. Ferguson will oversee design. The current bridge narrows traffic to one car at a time and has caused accidents and damages, prompting a raised roadway and new structure.
