Another bridge closing in mid April

Currently the bridge on 18 highway about 1/2 mile east of Merwin is closed for replacement- now another bridge on 18 is going to be closed in the near future. The bridge, located about 3 miles east of Merwin (or 1-3/4 miles west of the CC highway intersection) is slated to close on April 16th for replacement as well.

Both bridges were built in the late 1940's and are in serious need of replacement. Each is expected to be closed 4 to 6 weeks depending on weather.
