County Court Receives Plans For New Bridge Over John Day
Plans prepared by the State Highway department at the request of Sherman and Gilliam counties propose a first class Howe truss bridge over the John Day at McDonald to replace the toll ferry. The design features three spans 108 feet each with a central wider span for ice jams, reinforced concrete abutments, and a 20 ton truck floor capacity. Estimated cost is 13 250 dollars, cheaper than a steel bridge.
