After spending between $30,000 and $40,000 laying new pavement, replacing steel, rebuilding approaches to the bridge near Dog River, and replacing the deck completely, the BOC may drop the bridge’s load limit from 19 tons to 10 tons. As a result, large trucks would be unable to cross the bridge, but local school buses would still be able to cross (since they weigh under 10 tons). In this case, trucks would use State Highway 5 as an alternative route (as they are doing currently).
The plans for the new bridge will locate it just west of the present bridge, allowing travelers on the two-lane county road (which connects southern Douglas County to Interstate 20) to use the reopened old bridge during the construction of the new one.
