LAWRENCE COUNTY – The Lawrence County Redevelopment Commission will seek out a bridge inspector for the bridge on Meridian Road, over Mill Creek, to determine what would need to be done to repair it in part with plans to resurface a 2.2 mile stretch between Doc Hamilton Boulevard and State Road 60 East in Mitchell.
The bridge was built in a lightweight fashion, according to commission member Wally Branham, and is in need of repairs. The commission will look to bring in an inspector to review what would need to be done for the bridge, and include that in the repairs of the roadway.
Redevelopment Commission President Jeff Quyle said it could be included in the proposed reimbursement resolution for the airport project. The commission approved the hiring of a bridge inspector to move forward with the project.
