Audio: Trenton City Administrator, Ron Urton, provides an update on the 17th Street Bridge project
The old 17
th Street Bridge in Trenton was torn down in the summer so the location would have a new one, but there have been delays in the construction project which is now not expected to be finished until next year.
Trenton City Administrator Ron Urton provided an update on the situation.
Delays also included waiting on various approvals from other funding partners on the bridge project, the Union Pacific Railroad, the Missouri Department of Transportation, and the state Community Development Block Grant program. They joined the city of Trenton in financing the project. Trenton has a transportation sales tax to cover its share of the costs.
