A new bridge constructed near Unverferth Manufacturing southwest of Shell Rock in Butler County is open to traffic.
Butler County Engineer John Riherd tells Radio on the Go News that the contractor is still on site and weather permitting will be removing the temporary bridge and roadway over the next couple of weeks.
He says there is still a significant amount of restoration needed to return this job site to pre-construction, or even better, condition.
Tree planting and wetland restoration are scheduled.
