4mm.
Campbell reported to the Board he had looked into a proposed closing of Bridge #223
on S. R. 1854 over Rocky Creek. He has been in touch with some of the people living
in the area of this bridge and found they did in fact use the bridge and would like
for it to remain open if at all possible. This bridge closing was brought to the
attention of the board several years ago, and the board had at that time written let-
ters to the Department of Transportation and requested the bridge not be closed.
Mr. Camobell reported that the Highway Planning and Research Division of the
board of Transportation has asked the county commissioners to make a recommendation
pertaining to the proposed closing of Bridge #228.

bridge is not safe and cannot be crossed with any equipment or school buses. The
bridge is used every day by a number of people. ,
