Consultants update Henry County on bridge projects; commissioners told easements are needed
Summary
Great River Associates briefed the Henry County Commission on two bridge projects — the Bro Bridge on Northwest 700 Road and the Southeast 91 Road BRO bridge — and said contact with adjacent property owners will be needed to secure easements; a ribbon cutting was announced for the Southeast 91 Road project.
Representatives from Great River Associates updated the Henry County Commission on June 9 on progress for two county bridge projects and flagged outstanding easement needs.
Lindsay Chapen and Zach Olivius told the commission the Bro Bridge on Northwest 700 Road in Big Creek Township is under review and that work on the Southeast 91 Road BRO bridge in Bethlehem Township is wrapping up. Commissioners asked about two additional bridges on Northwest 1101 Road in Big Creek Township; Olivius said the project team needs to contact two adjacent property owners to secure easements required for work.
The commission was also informed that a ribbon cutting for the Southeast 91 Road project was scheduled for that afternoon. Lee Schael, representing Great River Associates at the meeting, provided logistical details.
Road and Bridge Supervisor Dennis Bowers said heavy rain has delayed mowing, brush cutting and some bridge work, and that weather conditions have complicated scheduling. Commissioners asked staff to pursue contact with property owners and to report back on easement status.
No formal motions or votes were recorded on the bridge projects during the meeting; staff follow-up was assigned to Road and Bridge and consulting staff.
