BENTONVILLE The new Osage Creek bridge on Old Arkansas 68 is taking shape, Benton County Judge Barry Moehring told Quorum Court members.
The bridge is just west of Logan Road in the southern part of the county. The bridge cost is $2.3 million, with 80% covered by federal money, 18% with state aid and 2% with county money, Moehring said.
The old 450-foot-long bridge was built in 1935, so it had certainly met its design life and was listed as structurally deficient, said Josh Beam, chief county engineer.
Moehring showed the Quorum Court members 25 seconds of drone footage of the bridge s skeletal frame at a June 24 meeting.
