Due to failing infrastructure and a recent washout, the bridge over the Pigeon River at the Ford Lake Road crossing in Otsego County will be completely replaced. The new bridge will resemble the original timber bridge, allowing the river to return to its natural, free-flowing state, improve fish passage and reduce opportunities for flooding.
