County moves to ease passing on bridge at Merrick Tower Rd; drainage study noted
Summary
Lyon County Engineer instructed crews to remove bridge sides and post one-way signage at a bridge on Road G north of Road 160 (Merrick Tower Rd) to improve passing for large equipment; a drainage study for the area was discussed.
County Engineer Wayne Scritchfield reported on a drainage study for Road G north of Road 160 (Merrick Tower Rd) and told commissioners he had instructed workers to remove the sides of the current bridge and install signage indicating a one-way area to facilitate passing by large equipment.
Scritchfield framed these as near-term operational steps tied to the drainage study; commissioners did not vote on construction funding at the July 24 meeting. The board directed no additional immediate action beyond the operational changes reported by the engineer.
