Correction: Wright Bridge repair costs

In the Foster County Commission story published on May 22, it was said that it would cost $30,000 to repair the Wright Bridge.

In fact it was said it would cost $30,000 to repair the road replacing the bridge.

The commission has two options: replace the bridge at a cost of $1.5 million or remove it completely and repair the road.

At this point the bridge removal would be done at no cost to the county.

When they remove the bridge they will need to build up about a mile section to make it passable, essentially creating a minimum maintenance road. The cost of the road repair is estimated at $30,000.
