Inspection flagged four aging bridges in Charles Mix County; no immediate action taken
Summary
County highway staff and an engineering firm reported four bridges are nearing end of life (estimated 75–100 years old) on minimum‑maintenance roads; the commission received the report and took no action at the meeting.
Highway Superintendent Doug Cimpl and Christian Hammond of Brosz Engineering reviewed the county’s 2024 bridge inspection report at the Nov. 21 meeting, which listed four bridges with significant findings.
The engineers reported the structures are nearing their expected end of life — described in the minutes as roughly 75 to 100 years old — and are located on minimum‑maintenance roads. The commission received the report but recorded no immediate action or motion to schedule repairs at this meeting.
Commissioners did not vote to authorize specific repairs or to allocate funds during the session; the minutes capture the inspection findings and indicate future planning or funding will be necessary to address the aging structures.
