Old Wooden Bridge Closed By Public Works
The Board of Public Works, after City Engineer Nelson Kivws examined the structure, ordered the old wooden bridge over the White River north of Washington Street closed to traffic indefinitely. Wagons and pedestrians would be diverted to the Michigan Street and Kentucky Avenue bridges while a new concrete bridge is considered, with estimates around 125000 dollars. The controller questioned funding and urged caution, suggesting a steel bridge for 50000 to 60000 dollars may be safer and cheaper in the long run.
