Valparaiso to contact residents for bridge survey after hardware reported in yards
Summary
Officials said paperwork from SENDD will allow staff to contact residents and aim to complete a bridge survey by about July 1; a resident reported rods snapping from the bridge and appearing in a yard, prompting a suggestion to consult an engineer or county inspector.
Village staff told trustees on June 9 that paperwork from the Southeast Nebraska Development District (SENDD) will allow them to begin contacting residents as part of a bridge survey expected to be completed around July 1.
Maintenance staff member Nick Sanders said he received the SENDD paperwork and will start outreach to residents. Resident Tammie Holley reported that rods from the bridge had snapped and appeared in her yard, raising safety concerns.
Trustees suggested checking with an engineer or a county inspector to confirm whether the bridge is viable for repair before pursuing work. The board did not adopt a formal repair plan at the meeting but set outreach and inspection steps in motion.
