Yahoo! Sports By Chris Peters, Stillwater NewsPress, Okla. October 4, 2022 Oct. 4—Monday evening, City Council approved a solution to finishing the overdue North Husband Street bridge replacement.

In the meeting Mayor Will Joyce expressed concern about how the unexpected additional cost for this project was going to impact or delay other transportation projects since they are coming from the same transportation fund. The additional cost to the bridge project was due to an inaccurate 2015 bedrock depth report from Terracon Geotechnical Services that showed sandstone at a depth of 12.5 feet and boring stopped at 23.6 feet, according to City staff. After demolition of the bridge, crews from Lopp Construction discovered the bedrock was not at the depth they expected from the geotechnical report.
