Montgomery's Creamery Bridge reconstruction is complete and ready for the final inspection scheduled for Wednesday, September 16. The activity shown here is the adjustment of the north approach guard rails found necessary by the preliminary final inspection held last week.
    Since the August 14 progress report, the approach roads have been graded to the bridge portals. The contract with the state requires only the gravel road surface with the town to take care of any improvements. With the steep downhill approaches at both ends of the bridge, movement of mud and gravel into the bridge can be expected, leading to deterioration of the new bridge floor system. We hope the town will take the necessary steps to prevent this.
