Bridge dispute prompts new plan for taller structure
War Department hearing yesterday led to withdrawal of objections from north Lawrence residents after officials explained the new bridge would be taller and span the same waterway, reducing flood risk. The plan preserves the existing alignment while increasing clearance to prevent future floods, despite earlier fears the structure would shorten the river crossing. The dispute centered on pier width and total length, with county leaders urging progress on construction under Hedrick and Cochran to avoid delays.
