WARSAW — In case you missed our Facebook post this morning, the Kosciusko County Highway Department announced around 7:30 a.m. that Country Club Drive in Warsaw, is now open.

The county bridge No. 209, which carries Country Club Road over Eagle Creek, was closed Sept. 14, to replace the bridge structure due to advanced deterioration of the bridge.

The structure was listed as a top priority of all the county’s bridges for replacement due to the 2014 Bridge Inspection Report, mandated by Federal Highway through Indiana Department of Transportation every two years. Due to the condition, the bridge was put on a one-year cycle of inspection due to appraisal line items that were low.

The bridge was not scheduled to open to traffic until approximately Nov. 25.
