Supervisors close two bridges with more to come

The Grundy County Board of Supervisors acted on County Engineer Gary Mauer’s recommendation to close two bridges during Monday morning’s meeting, and 19 more are on the agenda for next week.
           
Of the two bridges now closed (previously embargoed at three tons), one (F-4) is located on 160th Street just west of I Avenue, and the second (K-12) is on L Avenue. F-4 is currently slated for replacement in fiscal year 2022 at an estimated cost of $820,000, and K-12 is on the schedule for FY2021 at an estimated cost of $210,000.
