Siobhan (SHIV-on) Barton is reporting in the Register Star the Columbia County Department of Public Works is making plans to replace Cash’s Bridge in the town of Chatham. The bridge spans Indian Creek at the intersection of Clark Road and Route 9. The proposed adjustment would replace the structure’s beams and concrete and add shoulders to its width. “We want to replace it before it becomes unsafe,” said Robert Jobin, manager of the project. “There are cosmetic cracks that we’re watching right now but structurally there is nothing to worry about right now.” The replacement project is estimated to cost between $1.5 and $2 million. The 89-year-old structure was last repaired in 1980. The department will hold a public information session on the project 6 p.m., May 13 at Chatham Town Hall. Read the full story in the Register Star.
