Face lifting for Old Sedalia Bridge
Sedalia plans repairs to the Washington Street Bridge over the Missouri Pacific tracks. City officials led by FE Glenn Lewis aim to keep costs under 2500 dollars by using city workers to fix approaches, install new rails, reinforce structure, and bolt a cracked section back into place. The railroad will cover the center span work in 1962, keeping the bridge passable for pedestrians and vehicles. City urban projects may increase traffic on the bridge, while study continues on a State Fair Boulevard aerial crossing to ease north side access.
