Area paper companies offer funding to repair bridge over Bucks Creek

Area paper companies offer funding to repair bridge over Bucks Creek

That's great. I like the idea of repairing the wooden bridge. Personally, I like wooden bridges. On the bad side, there is a weight limit that does not allow log trucks to cross (even though they often do anyway).

From http://www.demopolistimes.com/articles/2...news/news22.txt:
 
Gulf States Paper, International Paper, Buchanan Paper and Weyerhauser together are proposing paying approximately $15,600 to repair the wooden bridge over Bucks Creek on the Perryville-Centreville Road (County Road 69).
The county is proposing to put a new deck on the bridge, which was originally built in 1977, said county engineer Danny Overton. The project will cost approximately $18,312.60, he said
(...) A concrete bridge would cost as much as $400,000, Overton said, and the bridge is used almost exclusively for log truck traffic. There are maybe five cars a day on the bridge.

I guess it's not one of the most heavily-traveled areas in Alabama.
