The City of Garretson had a planning meeting with their engineer and contractor for the upcoming 5th Street bridge repair project. Though the meeting was short, there were some important things finalized as the project gets started.
Representing the City were finance officer Paetyn Dreckman, Mayor Greg Beaner, council members Tom Godbey and Bruce Brown, along with city maintenance personnel Ryan Nussbaum and Jordan Doane.
Work will start on the bridge as soon as possible, within the next three weeks, an estimated start date of Nov. 16th. It will begin with a single lane closure as work crews begin on the rip rap. There will be a width restriction of 10 ft maximum. Work will continue until the winter makes it impossible, again with a single lane closure. After approximately a two-month break, the project will begin again in the spring and the official close date for the bridge will be on June 16th, 2023. The project’s completion date was set for Aug. 4th, 2023.
Expect to see more information and updates on the project as it goes forward in this newspaper.
