Some times you take a bridge to get to your destination... well... soon a historic bridge will be on the move itself.

Today, vigo county commissioners took steps to move the bridge on french drive to a "different" location.

They say it's still in use, but in need of repair.

They plan to move it to "prairie creek park" there..it'll serve as a walkway.

They'll build a "new" bridge in its "old" spot.

Commissioners approved several parts of this process today.

They say they hope to preserve a big part of the county's history.

"but i think it's kind of neat to know that some of these old bridges that were built in the 18-19 hundreds are still.

Here.

So i think people think about that."

Commissioners say there is no timeline for the completion of this project.

They're still waiting on funding.
