To the editor: Roche de Boeuf span harmed by ODOT work

ODOT has neglected their historic Interurban Bridge since it was closed to motor vehicles in 1946. The lack of maintenance and resultant deterioration got so bad, they closed it to pedestrians in 1983. So, if ODOT was so negligent in their required maintenance procedures over the past 80 years, why aren’t they rehabilitating the bridge today? ODOT plans to pull down the walls this month. This will result in an ugly skeleton, not an artistic icon. It will have an adverse effect on the historic character of this first of its kind bridge built in 1908. It will waste gas-tax dollars on pulling down walls that can be structurally supported at a lower cost. This will deprive tourists of a majestic view of the Maumee rapids, the historic Council Rock and the site of the start of the Battle of Fallen Timbers. Most important, it will not finish the job to make it functional again, and so, it will risk the safety of children biking on the Buckeye Trail between Haskins and Waterville. Now ODOT has given the bridge to Waterville so that ODOT can shirk their moral and financial responsibility to make this bridge a pedestrian/​bike bridge again and
