Slow progress on White River bridge project in Indiana
The Petersburg Democrat decries snail like work on the White River bridge near Rogers station. Only four two ton trucks operate at the site moving fill from Pike county hills to the approach, delaying completion for about 600 days more. The bridge would connect Petersburg Washington and other towns to Indianapolis, shortening the drive by thirty miles once finished. The State Highway Commission holds the project, leaving Pike and Daviess counties agitated as they await the long overdue bridge.
