Council: Urbanna bridge 'substantially complete'; well repairs to begin after weather delay

Council members reported the main bridge project is nearly finished and described final steps as signage installation and minor barricading. The mayor noted an engineer rode across the structure in a fully loaded fire tanker and said, "The thing didn't deflect at all," as part of a demonstration of the bridge's load rating.

Town staff also said scheduled well repairs were delayed by weather and would begin the following morning; a welder will be on site and a staff member who worked on the original installation will monitor the job. Councilors discussed minor finish work including rail spacing, covering exposed plumbing before winter, and pothole and approach clean-up.
