The Marion County Highway Department has reopened the Church Road a quarter mile east of Route 37 which has been closed for the past two and a half years because of a failed bridge.
Highway Engineer Mike McCormick says Depew and Owen Builders in Centralia completed the demolition of the old bridge, construction of the new bridge, and the completion of the new approaches.
The bridge was first closed in January 2020 when it was found unsafe for traffic to use.
