Ford Road Bridge

If the Boone County Council chooses to not reinstate necessary funds to replace the Ford Road bridge (in other words…defunding) on Tuesday, October 9th at 8:30am in the Annex in Lebanon, approximately $2,580,000 in federal funds and engineer/design costs to date on this project will be lost and not available for another bridge. In the meantime, the existing bridge is crumbling and has been listed as in need of repair for 18 years. A perfectly good, safe project has been presented by the Commissioners and approved by INDOT. It is now time to replace this bridge before the existing bridge falls down or is closed due to structural decay.
