Chesterfield to repair Plum Street bridge

CHESTERFIELD — Traffic along Plum Street will be restricted for about two months as a long-awaited project to repair a bridge gets underway. E&B Paving, an Anderson-based contractor, will be repairing and repaving the bridge on Plum Street leading to Ind. 32. Cost estimates were not available Wednesday, but Town Council President Ed Leonard said the project would be paid for with a Community Crossings grant. Leonard said the town received the grant some time ago, but held on to the funds during the planning stages. Planning, Leonard said, is the reason for the project's years-long delay. Town officials had several regulatory hoops to jump through with engineering and legal matters. The latter was the most difficult. Leonard said he and other officials were surprised to learn that the biggest hurdles coincided with the bridge's size. Leonard said town officials were informed that if the planned bridge was smaller, construction could have started earlier.
