The full story

Public Works Director Roger McCormick told the board the project addresses a narrow, structurally deficient wash bridge on Walnut Grove Road that is posted with a 15-ton weight limit. "This bridge...was inspected and why it qualified for the funding is it is structurally deficient," McCormick said; he told the board the final project estimate grew to about $1.2 million and the county's share required today is $537,051 to proceed.
