Concern About Flood Damaged Bridge in Evarts

Some folks in Evarts are getting anxious about how much time it is taking to get a
permanent fix to a bridge that was damaged in a flood in February.

The Plank Roe Road bridge to several homes along Bailey’s Creek Road was damaged February 15.

The county road department put in a temporary bridge the next day but some residents are concerned that it is giving out.

Emergency Management officials tell WYMT the crossing is being maintained while they await potential money from FEMA to replace the bridge.
