Just look at the "CRAP JOB" that was done to widen this road!! I am begining to think that the county has invested in the company that makes tie-rod ends, and maybe a tire company or two!!

O. is for repairs. The 2.34 mil is to completely replace the bridge, which is probably what should have happened, but given the poor finances of the county this was not done. David, the P.
