Civic Leaders See Bright Prospects for Bridge Sale
Pomeroy civic leaders report favorable talks with the Ohio bridge commission on selling the Pomeroy Bend Bridge to the state for 500000 or less. The plan would make the bridge toll free after repayment, with a 10 to 12 year payback depending on traffic tolls and operating costs. Community support is growing as more towns likely back the proposal.
