Update on Ingram Road Bridge Replacement

The two bridges being replaced on Ingram Road are nearing completion.

The plan is for the County Highway department to begin work on the approach to the box culverts within the next week and hopefully have both projects completed before the end of August.

But as we know, this plan will only work if the weather allows it to.
