Ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrates reopening of Grabill Road Bridge
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in Leo-Cedarville on Friday to celebrate the reopening of the Grabill Road Bridge.
Officials from the Allen County Board of Commissioners, Allen County Highway Department, and Town of Leo-Cedarville joined community members for the ceremony, which took place along the St. Joseph River.
The bridge has connected the west and east banks of the river for over a hundred years, serving as an essential route for communities in northeast Allen County.
- The most recent bridge was built in 1965.
- The restoration of the bridge included a re-done bridge deck.
- The bases of the piers were secured with riprap.
- A pipe 30’ under the bridge was lined with a product to extend its life.
"I want to thank everyone for a bridge well-built," Commissioner Rich Beck said.
