Work Commences on New Bridge
Preparation for construction of the new Highway 60 Bridge got underway Monday morning.
Contractor for the bridge, which will consist of three cantilever beam spans totaling 221 feet in length, is L.M. Klehr of Minneapolis. The contract was for $91,210.
The bridge will span the Zumbro near the Gilbert Schmitt residence and is part of the improvement and relocating project on T.H. 60 by the state.

Everything at Once
Just happened to be thinking of all the improvements begun here this summer for which we have been waiting so long.
First and foremost, of course, is the start on the new bridge this week. “Tis rumored grading on the new road will start this year, also, but that we have no information on.
Then of course, there are the various blacktopping projects---south of town, east of town, and even part way up the Larson hill.
Add to that, completion of the municipal building, and it makes quite a year for Mazeppa.
Now we’re just waiting for that local doctor.
