Old Rousseau Bridge To Be Put in Order
The Rousseau bridge across the Des Moines river north of Knoxville will be restored for traffic once weather allows. The county boards hired a Lincoln contractor for about $5,000 to move the 80-foot south span to the north end, as shifting river flow has left the north approach threatened. The bridge, oldest in the area, will be repaired after farmers opposed removal proposals.
