County to Spend 400000 on Bridge Plan
A 400000 bridge building program for Erie County was outlined by County Commissioner Thomas W. Flatley after input from Y. J. Pope of the state highway department. The plan covers ninety bridges, mostly replacements, to be built on the secondary system and will take three to four years to complete as weather permits. Many spans are unsafe, and placards have warned motorists. The project will relieve township supervisors of maintenance and repair duties and reduce county aid requests.
