The contractor wrapped it up today. There's no gravel on top yet and I expect the county to do that tomorrow along with some finish grading. I'll have a little seeding to do on the CRP filter strip land in that area. I'll give me a chance to put the 10' field cultivator on the back of the 2 banger and make it hunker down a bit. All-in-all they did a good job of finishing it off. I'm not a culvert/bridge expert so I'm not going to judge the rest of the project. It looks good to me. When I drove over it the first time the expanse where the bridge used to be seems so WIDE! For 62 years we've had a little narrow 15' bridge in front of our place. Now it looks like 30' but maybe I'm stretching it a bit ya think? The road will probably be a little rough in that area till it goes through the freeze and thaw next winter but a year from now it should be settled down. Jim
Old bridge
Finished project eight working days later
View through the old bridge looking north. Look at the corn on the left and right sides of the road then look at the corn in the next pic.
Looking south at new grade. The corn is tassled now.
