Smithland Bridge
This bridge is in serious need of replacement. Our school children cross this bridge twice daily. it is in the center of our county and is a danger to anyone crossing this bridge. There are no plans to replace this bridge and it is clearly a danger to everyone. this is a real concern to me and has been for a very long time.
