New Engineer Begins Work On Old McArthur Rd Bridge
County crews start a temporary crossing over Clear Creek on Old McArthur Rd to replace the washed-out span. George Mara, new county engineer, says an eight foot diameter boilershell supports the crossing, enough for school buses. The residents built the interim bridge previously. The delayed main bridge project stemmed from a lawsuit by former engineer Clyde Underwood. The state highway department and county had a $35,000 credit toward a $75,000 county share for a Mulberry St bridge in the RE 38 Logan bypass project.
