WHEREAS, the bridge over the Indian River on State Road Slid
in Indian River County, Florida, is in bad condition and in need
of immediate repair as evidenced by the fact that during the past
week a section of said bridge collasped, and
WHEREAS, said bridge is scheduled for replacement by a new
structure as soon as funds become available, which the County hopes
and expects will be in the near future, Now, therefore;
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian
River County, Florida, that this Board does herewith respectfully
request the State Road Department of Florida to immediately make
an inspection of this bridge to determine the repairs necessary
in order that said bridge may safely carry the increased and heavy
traffic customarily thereon during the winter season, to permit safe
crossing at least for a period of time of one year, realizing that
extensive repairing and reconstruction is not desirable in view of
the proposed new construction but that said bridge must be kept
in safe condition for its anticipated traffic particularly in view
of the fact that beginning in thirty to sixty days heavy traffic
transporting citrus fruits ordinarily use that bridge from that
time until approximately May 1st.
