The Dolores Chamber of Commerce is seeking to encourage support for repairing the old river bridge which is believed to be vital to many persons in the area. Chamber President Marc Brincivalli said this week that he hopes to interest the town in seeking support for making the bridge usable again. It has been closed due to structural failure of some steel members. He pointed out that persons in the Lebanon and Lewis areas find it inconvenient to make the trip around to the new highway to enter Dolores. The route also provided a route for stock drives and also for gravel trucks of the county's and Nielsons Inc. without detouring to the new bridge. A letter by the Chamber has convinced the county commissioners to take a good look at the situation before making any definite decisions.
