Freeze Road will soon be getting a new bridge after the Warren County Financial Management Committee approved a bid to replace the existing structure.According to Road Superintendent Levie Glenn, all the permits are in place and everything is approved to begin construction on the new bridge as quick as notice is sent to the contractor. Curbers, Inc. will be handling construction at a cost of $162,113, with the Warren County Highway Department doing the paving that is estimated at $25,000.The Freeze Road bridge has been a source of continuous maintenance for the Highway Department, according to Glenn. Drainage issues cause regular flooding, often causing the bridge to be closed.
