The Jackson Covered Bridge over Sugar Creek is being rehabilitated. Work
on the $1.4 million Federal Aid project has started. The project will
include the removal of the roof and siding. The bridge frame will then be
moved off of the abutments for rehabilitation as well. The bridge is
scheduled to be removed from the abutments in early 2007. The purpose
of this website is to track the progress of the bridge rehabilitation.

July 14th The replacing of vertical posts
is ongoing, with only a few left to replace. The construction plan is
to install some of the roofing and siding before the bridge is moved back
over Sugar Creek. The moving crew was scheduled to arrive the week of
July 16th and start preparing for the move. The move is currently scheduled
for the middle of August.
