Several representatives from the Cherokee Nation and Washington County dedicated a newly constructed bridge on Old Highway 75 (North 3980 Road) and West 3300 Road, just north of Ramona.
The $1.4 million investment by the Cherokee Nation replaced a bridge over Double Creek that was originally built in the 1930s on a road that is highly traveled.
Washington County District 3 Commissioner Mike Dunlap says the relationship the county has with the Cherokee Nation is an example for others.
Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. says the tribe is dedicated to helping communities across the Cherokee Reservation, especially in rural areas.
The Cherokee Nation has invested in several road and bridge projects across the reservation, including Washington County. The tribe funded the Matoaka Bridge, multiple miles of roads and will fund the Sanders Ceek project just north of Vera.
