Maintenance Of Bridges No Small Job By MARLA BABCOCK
Franklin County engineer Bob Lister oversees 265 bridges built mainly between 1880 and 1900. He designs all new bridges and culverts, built 12 concrete structures this year, and led rechanneling to replace two old bridges with one safer, cost saving solution. One project rechanneled Wolf Creek southwest of LeLoup, another realigned Hickory Creek northeast of Peoria to straighten approaches and widen the bridge. Beachner Construction Co. built the bridges while county crews handled earth moving and channel work.
