Bridge to be repaired in Tippecanoe Co.

TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) - A bridge in Tippecanoe County will soon get a new look.  The Tippecanoe County Commissioners took bids under advisement to repair Bridge 151, also known as Hog Point Bridge.

Highway Department Assistant Director Mike Spencer said the last time the bridge was worked on was in the 70s.  He said other road improvements near the bridge will be made as well.

"The bridge itself will get a new deck on it.  I believe it will be wider.  The deck that's on there is severely deteriorating.  There will be a lot of road improvements along Pretty Prairie Road where it ties in with Grant Road.  It's kind of an unsafe intersection right now, it will make it a lot safer for the public," said Spencer.

The low bid for the project came from Jack Isom Construction at around $2.3 million.
