    Where will the debris from the bridge be discarded, will it be to the right of the highway right before the West View/Bellevue exit?

    Gary asked about 1 month ago

    The county’s contractor will be removing all debris from the site to an approved waste location with the exception of the topsoil that is currently being stored along the interstate. That topsoil will remain there until it is reused in the median after a new Jacks Run Bridge No. 3 is constructed next year.
