Over the river
The old Big Run bridge east of Gambier is going back together after an over-the-winter refurbishing. It was dismantled last summer and taken to Cambridge, where the Ohio Bridge Co. sandblasted it. Then a Columbus firm galvanized the metal. The historic bridge was manufactured by the old Mount Vernon Bridge Co. The bridge will have a wood floor, to give pedestrians a scenic view of the Kokosing River. (Virgil Shipley)
