80th District Bridge Repair Updates
As winter approaches, local residents have become concerned with a couple bridges that have not been completed in the area. Specifically, the bridges on County Road EE near Monticello and County Road PB near Belleville remain unopened.
With winter deadlines looming, Representative Brett Davis (R-Oregon) has been in contact with the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding the projects.
“I have been in contact with the DOT to ensure the bridges are opened back up as soon as possible,” stated Davis. “The detours not only create headaches for motorists, but also cost local businesses time and money and increase wear and tear on local township roads. I understand the importance of the bridges’ timely construction and will continue to put pressure on the DOT.”
Davis said the County Road EE bridge construction is under the supervision of DOT contract Project Manager Dennis Driver. Davis was assured that two crews will be working on the project over the next few weeks. Concrete is scheduled to be poured around December 1st. The bridge repair is on pace to be open before Christmas Day.
In addition, work is continuing on the County Road PB bridge. Davis said the construction crew is expected to start paving on November 19th and 20th. County Road PB is currently scheduled to reopen on December 7th, weather permitting.
Rep. Davis will remain in regular contact with the DOT and residents over the issue. If anyone in the area has questions or concerns, Davis encourages them to contact his cell phone directly at (608) 345-8576.
