The only cost to you will be dismantling and transporting the bridge to where you will relocate it. We are glad that you will be able to utilize this bridge in your downtown renovation project. Our only other option was to have the bridge dismantled for scrap and since it is a beautiful bridge, we certainly did not wish to see this happen. If we can be of further assistance to you in any way, please let us know. Sincerely, dy� Michael A. Ossola County Planner MAO: fc cc: Board of County Commissioners Michael A.
