The new Skunk River Bridge is expected to open Thursday. To celebrate, the Washington and Brighton chambers of commerce are holding a ribbon cutting that day at 9 a.m. With commuters no longer having to take the detour, Brighton Chamber of Commerce president Nancy Adrian, says they will be celebrating the return to normalcy. Adrian, who commutes to Washington from Brighton daily, says the detour has definitely increased her travel time but says the individuals who have been impacted the most are farmers with land on both sides of the bridge.
