The bridge was washed out in the December 10, 2025, flooding. Lincoln County officials approved a temporary bridge installation at the location because a new structure would have taken much longer to complete. In addition to TCI, the county's Troy Road Crew and Arrow Construction Supply were also working at the site. Officials hope to have work done by June 25. (Scott Shindledecker/The Western News)
