Show a needed bridge i Green River residents are pushing for recon- :; struction of a bridge across the mouth of the San Rafael River at its junction with the Green and we wholeheartedly support their efforts. A Green River representative met recently -: with the Emery County Commission seeking their ' support on the bridge project, and was met with ': encouraging comments. The Commissioners have .' acquired an army-surplus bridge which is now being refurbished for installation at the point in ;.. question hopefully this summer. ' The bridge is on the route of an important entrance from the Green River area to many : newly-designed park areas in Can.yonlands Nation-'- al Park. It was dismantled a number of years ago, and replaced by culverts which continually wash ; out. Increased interest on the areas served by the 11 road and its bridge, make it important to get it ' back in as quick a time as possible. ; We applaud the interest of F.mery County Commissioners. They are quite far removed from their community of Green River, but they have indicated in this action that they are concerned j about the welfare of the people on the eastern edgf of Emery County. |
