Lincoln County officials have started the permit process to reconstruct Lower Granite Creek Bridge and Lake Creek Bridge, two of nine bridges that washed out during December’s catastrophic flooding.
These bridges had the biggest impact on Lincoln County residents and were prioritized for repairs, according to County Emergency Management Director Boyd White. Lower Granite Creek bridge, which stretched across Big Cherry Creek, had 334 average daily trips, according to state data. Lake Creek bridge, which spanned over Keeler Creek, averaged 100 daily trips.
