New bridge at Beaver Dam to be ready by Feb.
It took a licking in the record floods of June, and today we are told that the weakened Beaver Dam bridge at mile forty on the Western Highway will soon be replaced. Government has approved the purchase of a modular steel frame span from an Austrian company, which should be in place by February of next year. The new right of way for the bridge will eliminate the existing dangerous curve and the Ministry of Works will soon begin construction on the earthworks at each end. Total cost of the project, including new road construction and drainage, is estimated at two point four million dollars.
