You are right Driver on April 17th they have just reopened it. My point
is after it failed inspection they had it closed for months. do we really need to spend almost double the amount money on the project for a temporary bridge while they are building a new one on this low traffic back road. Remember that after we pay for the temporary bridge to be built we have to pay for its removeal
>>> For those of u that don’t know the bridge has been out for months
This bridge has not….it was still open.
Does any one think the cost and extra time to put in a temporary bridge will be worth it? Politicians always talk about wasted tax money but here it is, right in front of us and know one will say a word. For those of u that don’t know the bridge has been out for months and a temporary bridge will run the price up hundreds of thousands of dollars
In any event, the stream has good shade and is of shallow dept; an excellent/safe place for toddlers to play.
Sorry W.W. As a two time Army Achievement Medal Recipient and a taxpayer, I believe the distinction is mine!
@ w.w.
So Willie Wonka branch ?
“over an unnamed branch”
They can name it after me since I pay so much property tax….
