Prospect Bridge
Posted August 1, 2012, by Mike Goff (michael [dot] goff [at] hotmail [dot] com)

Jackson County is currently giving the Prospect Bridge a facelift. The bridge is being rehabilitated and widened slightly. ODOT Bridge Engineering did the engineering work and Hamilton Construction is doing the construction.

The project should be completed this fall.
