Impact analysis
About $200,000 for the bridge, plus a $65,000 local match on a separate TxDOT bridge project.
Travelers on the flooded Alligator Creek crossing who get a reliable structure.
Local taxpayers are on the hook for the bill, and those living near the construction site might deal with years of noise and traffic.
