Bridge Timbers Give Under Load On River Span
Eight of twelve wooden stringers supporting the river bridge’s third span broke under a heavy gravel truck Saturday. The steel travel plates prevented a collapse, allowing the truck to move off the weak spot. Western Bridge Co. operates the gravel project between here and the west county line. Repairs will replace broken stringers with 3x14 in timbers while traffic uses the south bridge passage.
