Letter to the Editor: Fort Sidney Road Bridge

Dear Editor,

Disclaimer: I am not a bridge builder nor do I claim to be one, but I’ve worked in manufacturing long enough to know when I see progress, or lack thereof.

Since I am unemployable, I’ve had plenty of time to walk the dog past the Fort Sidney Road Bridge down the walking trail. I’ve also had the inconvenience of finding an alternative route when I want to go to Bomgaar’s.

I read in the newspaper where construction had to be halted on the bridge because of unforeseen fiber optics cables. I’m not an expert, but when I want to do some digging I call the “Diggers Hotline” around my home...

I heard the reason for the bridge not being completed on time or even started when it was supposed to was the company building it, ordered the wrong size of supports.. doesn't make me wanna drive on that any time soon!!!! everything in this town takes too long and costs TOO much!!!!

John you expressed what everyone was thinking about the bridge. Should the citizens of Sidney expect the bridge to be completed and opened by Thanksgiving.
