6/2/14 - Local officials are hoping three bridges will be on the list of projects chosen to receive special funding later this year. Every year, the state and federal government asks the Livingston County Road Commission to identify bridges and prioritize them for replacement, rehabilitation or preventative maintenance. Managing Director Mike Craine tells WHMI three have been identified, with the first being a relatively new bridge on Mason Road that suffered damage from poor soils and the weight of loads and traffic. Craine tells WHMI the second bridge is on Crouse Road in the Village of Hartland that serves as a main conduit for school bus traffic and the third is on McCabe Road, just southeast of Brighton. Craine says that span is in relatively good shape with some load limitations but has been deemed âfracture criticalâ. Craine says the state and federal review process will take about six months and theyâll likely learn in October if theyâve been awarded any funding for the projects. (JK)
