The Route 161 Extension bridge over Skillet Fork has been reopened for two-way traffic following the latest round of repairs.
Marion County Highway Engineer Mike McCormick says the traffic control devices that controlled the one-way traffic were removed Friday afternoon.
Even though two-way traffic has resumed, the 15-ton weight limit remains which means no loaded trucks can cross.
McCormick is hopeful the latest repairs will hold four or five years until a new bridge can be built. The county is currently seeking funding for the replacement.
The two month repair project that reduced traffic to one way was completed by C-Hill of Centralia at a cost of around $200,000.
