The old concrete bridge near the Luverne City Park entrance has been removed, and River Road has its own entrance to County Road 4 farther east.
Henning Construction demolished the bridge May 24, and by May 26, paving had begun on the new road that intersects directly with County Road 4.
Luverne City Council members approved the project last summer, based on traffic safety and condition of the bridge, and the city worked with Rock County Highway Engineer Mark Sehr.
“I really think our Rock County engineer put a lot of thought in this project, and I think having two entrances down there, a separate one for River Road, is the best plan,” City Administrator John Call said in August.
“The main thing is that the bridge is beyond its useful years.”
Henning was the low bidder on the work at $80,707.
