Ugly and dangerous
It's going onto a year now since this bridge northeast of Wayne collapsed following a heavy rain.
Piling and rubble still remain in the creek bed waiting to be removed, however, and the temporary warning structures have yet to be replaced with something permanent and safe.
The Wayne County superintendent of roads said this week tat plans are in the works to remove the pilings, hopefully within a few days, and to erect barricades on the roads on each side of the creek.
We hope county officials consider this one of the most important tasks they have to accomplish this summer. As of now, the site is ugly and dangerous.
