WHEATLAND – The county road and bridge superintendent discussed the “unheard-of” feat of successfully replacing a condemned bridge within six weeks, and the final cost was just around $22,000.
Road and bridge superintendent Chris Bookout gave credit to the foreman on the project, Mark Bolin, along with the rest of the crew, Beal Angle and Nick Klein. Together they “put in over 300 man-hours into getting that bridge straight. Overall, those are the guys there who are responsible for making it happen, and they did an amazing job. Now all we’re waiting on is the State (WYDOT) need to come through to do the load test. They were amazed at how quickly that got done.”
On Nov. 15, the county was notified the bridge failed WYDOT inspection and the road was closed with traffic re-routed several miles to avoid the condemned stream crossing.
