During Wednesday’s Barton County Commission, County Counselor and Administrator Richard Boeckman presented an informational report and update on work completed and services provided throughout various departments of the County. Boeckman says that work continues on the troublesome Ellinwood Bridge.

Things like cutting the shims for expansion have been tried to fix the bridge, but County Engineer Clark Rusco reports that now, the designer of the pin and hanger replacement assemblies is currently working on plans to repair the concrete deck located above newly installed pin and hanger assemblies. Work on the concrete deck repairs will begin in 2013 in an attempt to finally repair the bridge entirely.
