Riverview engineer outlines Clark Street water-main work; seeks state help for Grange bridges
Summary
City engineer updated council on Clark Street water-main construction and plans to submit two aging Grange bridges to the state's critical-bridge program, which staff said could fund about 95% of repair costs with the city covering roughly 5%.
City engineer Speaker 6 told the council Clark Street water-main work is underway: crews have installed pipe and performed some service work but have not yet connected services, and final connections for the Huntington subdivision are scheduled for spring to avoid winter street disruption. Speaker 6 said residents receive 48 hours’ notice before work affecting services.
On bridges, Speaker 6 said the city retained Fishback to inspect two Grange bridges and prepare submissions to the state’s critical-bridge listing; he said that status could make the projects eligible for the state to cover about 95% of repair costs while the city would contribute roughly 5%.
Councilors asked whether bridges were county responsibility; Speaker 6 said these are city-owned bridges. Staff said a report will be submitted to the state for critical-bridge consideration and follow-up will return to council.
