Commissioners Discuss Plans For Repair Of River Bridge
Hocking County commissioners discussed the unsafe Mulberry Street bridge over the Hocking River on Route 93 in South Logan. An Ohio Bridge Co. representative warned the structure will pull apart without repairs and suggested a new floor and stringer replacement. A state engineer may inspect and help finance the work though the bridge will serve only until the Route 33 93 interchange is built. The panel also named Larry Holzapfel to the citizens' committee guiding the new Hocking County hospital and approved five Hide-A-Way Hills plats.
