CHESANING — It’s been more than four years since the last person walked across the historic foot bridge that once spanned the Shiawassee River, but a three-year fundraising campaign to replace the bridge washed away by an ice floe in 2008 has finally reached its goal.
Wednesday, the Department of Environmental Quality awarded the River Rapids Pedestrian Bridge Committee a $30,000 grant, which brings the group to its more than $400,000 goal to build a new foot bridge.
