<br />Background Information (continued) <br /> <br />The primary users of the bridge are the <br />residents of 4 homes located on the West <br />side of the bridge. Without the bridge, <br />these residents must travel west t mile to <br />a north-south gravel township road and <br />then 1 mile south to Cass Highway 20. This <br />results in their trip to west fargo being 1 <br />mile longer. The extra mile is on a gravel <br />township. <br /> <br />In 1995 the County entered into an <br />agreement with Reed Township. Under the <br />terms of the agreement, Cass County would <br />make temporary repairs to the bridge and <br />Reed Township would improve the alternate <br />route to the 4 residences. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Cass County made about $20,000 in short <br />term repairs to the bridge in 1996. Reed <br />Township made improvements to the <br />alternate township roads in 1996 and again <br />in 2001 with County financial assistance. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Bridge was closed in September 2001 <br />due to its failing condition. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />
