County staff recommend permanent repair after Converse Bridge deck failure; temporary fix also estimated

Public works staff reported an emergency failure of the Converse Bridge after a heavy piece of equipment crossed a weight‑limited structure and heavily damaged the deck and corrugated support. Staff presented two repair options: a temporary repair to reopen the route (~$181,000) or a more comprehensive $350,000 repair that would remove the weight limit and extend the structure's life by roughly 25 years.
