Paxson Bridge Nearing Completion

The Paxson Bridge is nearing completion; Road & Bridge Foreman Jim Fletchall said at Monday's regular commission meeting that the goal was to finish it by next week. Concrete for the bridge has been poured. After the job is done, commissioners and Fletchall will take a tour and prioritize future projects. The Cook Bridge needs repair while the Rinehart Bridge, a long-standing problem for the county, is undercutting again requiring culverts to stop it from washing out even more. The county is in the process of getting needed materials.

Other jobs include repairs arising from previous work. An old railroad road near Worth needs rock on it after the county had taken out a tube that was put in to control water. Another road near Worth needed a fence put back in after the county had taken it out while digging a grader ditch.

The county commission voted to solicit snow removal bids for the Courtyard as well as emergency snow removal bids for county roads in the event of a snow emergency.
