A federal grant, worth $498,400, will be used to completely reconstruct a covered bridge over the Embarras River west of Greenupon the National Road. The additional money became necessary when work revealed that the existing bridge abutments needed to be replaced.

The funds are in addition to $1,252,000 allocated in 1997 for rebuilding the 200-foot covered timber bridge. "Our original plans included modification to existing abutments. When we got into the design work, the bridge office in Springfield told us we could not utilize these concrete substructures," said Gary Kruger, Cumberland County engineer. The county. also received $485,000 from the state for jurisdictional transfer of the roadway and two bridges.

"This insures the project will be built and we are appreciative of HOSPITAL Admitted Thursday Chester Albert, Greenup Dorothy A. Bunyard, Mattoon Mildred K. Butler, Sullivan Donna C. Hudson, Casey Inez L. Hudson, Casey Betty A.
