2 million dollar bridge completed

After seven long months as a dead end road, North Springfield's Main Street is back to being fully passable again.

The road was closed in late April to make way for a construction project to replace the aging Harry Hill bridge built in 1935. That structure had a huge thick concrete support pier at the middle of its 100 ft long span but was eroding and not needed for the new bridge. It had to be slowly chipped away down to the ground after dismantling the top of the old bridge. The entire project ended up taking a month longer to complete than expected.

    Her comment is not related to the bridge work. She needs a different method to promote her ideals.

    The local folks appreciate the work that has been completed.

  3. Built with tax dollars. Hopefully they saved the creosote soaked timbers to use as fire starters for the biomess. Cough, cough, hack, cough, cough.
