Summary
County highway staff reported a critical failure at Bridge 332 and presented two bids; commissioners voted to accept the bids for review and report back.
Elkhart County commissioners on July 7 received two bids to rehabilitate Bridge 332, a structure the highway department reported was found in “critical failure” and is currently closed.
Kyle Wagner of the county highway department told commissioners the bridge is located “on Counter 142 between Counter 29 and Counter 42” and that the structure’s condition led to the closure after the last inspection. He reported two bids: Milestone Contractors for $1,009,617.39 and Reeth Riley Construction Company for $1,397,764.38.
The commissioners voted to accept the bids and asked staff to review them and report back; the motion carried unanimously. No contract award was made at the meeting.
The project remains at the review stage; county staff will evaluate the bids and return with a recommendation. The timeline for work or reopening of the crossing was not specified at the meeting.
