(KLZA)-- A group of landowners with property in the Northwest part of Speiser Township, which is southwest of Humboldt met with Richardson County Commissioners June 16th to discuss the status of a bridge in the area.
The bridge is located approximately a mile-and-a-half north of Highway 8on 630 Avenue and a short distance east on 707 Road.
Robert Storant served as the groups spokesman and questioned whether or not the bridge could be repaired or replaced, calling it a vital piece of infrastructure for the area farming operations. Concerns for the ability of emergency vehicles to reach destinations in the area were also addressed.
The group requested the bridge be made structurally sound.
Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. said the bridge has many safety issues and will be closed at some point due to the costs of needed repairs to maintain the bridge. Darveau also explained what has been done to the bridge to keep it open.
No action was taken.
