NAPOLEON BRIDGE PROJECT GETTING CLOSER

The Henry County Com­mis­sion­ers have been told that ODOT has finally approved the pre­lim­i­nary plan for the design of a sec­ond river bridge in Napoleon.

Now, a pub­lic meet­ing will be the next step toward get­ting the project under­way.

ODOT says con­struc­tion on a new bridge in Napoleon would likely begin some­time in 2016 or 2017, but they also say more money is still needed before that will happen.
