REED TOWNSHIP, Bridge between Sections 7-18 Commissioners received a letter dated September 14, 1995 from the Reed Township Board of Supervisors, and a memorandum from County Engineer Keith Berndt dated September 22, 1995, concerning a bridge located between Sections 7 and 19, Reed Township. Mr. Berndt said the bridge at this location is presently open to traffic but is in very poor condition and will require closing or repair in the near future. He estimated it would cost $700,000 to replace the bridge. Les Staples and Gene Johnson, Reed Township Board of Supervisors, requested that the bridge be repaired rather than closed at a future date. Mr. Staples said four families depend on the bridge to get to work, one being a farmer who owns property on both sides of the river.

Mr. Johnson indicated that the township plans to rebuild one mile of road in this area next year.

Motion carried unanimously.
