TOWN OF FARMINGTON, Wis. — The Town of Farmington will rebuild a bridge located on Indian Lore Rd near Shalom Dr after it collapsed during the massive flooding that impacted much of southeastern Wisconsin in August.

The town board held a special meeting on Monday night, where they approved a $370,000 project to remove what's left and rebuild it.

Chairman Doug Neumann said rain, flooded waters and debris washed the road out and then knocked the bridge down on August 9th.

"There's a lot of traffic that goes north and south on that road," he said. "Our school buses, garbage collection, and one of the largest local dairy farmers lives right around the corner. So, it is a heavily used bridge."

The county will pay for half of the project as the town covers the rest and waits on FEMA assistan
