Motorists will soon be able to travel between Brighton and Washington via Highway 1. According to Iowa DOT Field Services Coordinator, Jason Huddle, the Skunk River Bridge replacement remains ahead of schedule.

He says if the weather doesn’t impact the progress being made, the bridge will open in a few weeks.

Iowa Bridge & Culvert will remain on scene after it opens to complete the final stages of the project that started at the beginning of 2015.
