Power dam bridge revisited near Bemidji
Staff Photographer CHRIS MATTISON reports on the progress of a new bridge five miles east of Bemidji on county road 12 at the power dam. Herbison Bridge Co. of Minneapolis builds it to replace the old span closed Oct 20, 1975. Sixty nine percent of the $259,611 cost is funded by federal and state sources. Beltrami County bears no cost. Construction aims for late summer completion with possible traffic opening after approach work is finished.
