Grand Opening for Bill Young Bridge

The C.W. Young Bascule Bridge will be officially opening tomorrow, August 25th. The bridge will be closed between 9 am and noon to accomodate the festivities, which begin at 10 am.

The ribbon cutting will begin at 10:45 am and the dedication will be held 10 minutes later. The boat parade begins at 11 am.

Special dispensation was given to allow the bridge to be named after an individual - especially one currently serving in public office who will be up for re-election in just over a year.
