The St. Clair County Commission voted May 26 to approve payment of a final invoice to the Waterworks Board of the Town of Raglin to cover relocation of a water line required for the Riverside Bridge replacement.

Commissioners and the county engineer flagged detour planning as a key outstanding issue for the Riverside Bridge work. The engineer said parts of the roadway and the dam fall inside the Riverside city limits, and county staff are awaiting follow-up from the Alabama Department of Transportation about detour design and what county costs might be eligible for reimbursement. Commissioners discussed developing two contingency plans depending on whether state funding contributes to upgrading detour routes.
