Engineers Opposed Hinton Toll Bridge Sale Details
A. Grimpel former WV bridge commission secretary testified before a joint committee on the Hinton toll bridge sale last night. He said the sale proceeded against engineering advice, after a Britmore firm warned of costly repairs and a costly rebuild estimate of 120 000 versus 325 000 for the existing span. He noted rehabilitating the bridge would cost about 35 000 and that purchase price rested on that figure and expected earnings. White, state road commission secretary, said records show only a cursory review by the road commission.
