Termite hold keeps some bridges standing says county engineer
Logan County engineer Clyde Underwood warned that many county bridges date from the 1880s to early 1900s and are narrow and dilapidated. He urged township trustees to help locate unsafe spans, post weight and speed limits, and proceed with rebuilding as funds permit. Six new stop signs in West Logan will be proposed, with Route 52 becoming a through road.
