The bridge south of Ricketts, county paved route L51, will be closed beginning April 7.
Graves Construction of Spencer is replacing the existing bridge with a new one and expects the work to be completed around mid July.
Depending on weather and gravel and unpaved road conditions, residents have estimated detours of anywhere from 2 to several miles.

I found this Blog very interesting, and am prompted to post something. I was employed by GA Power years ago, and was told a new contractor had showed up hailing from Iowa. When I finally got to meet her, she said she was from Odebolt, IA. I commented that I knew where it was, just down the road from Ricketts. Her reply was, "Nobody knows where Ricketts, IA is!" Of course my reply back was, "I do!" I went on to share with her that my sister lives there, Doris Schreiber. Thanks for the opportunity to share in this bit of "Americana" that Ricketts, IA demonstrates. The link is for my present hometown of Minot, Maine. It would appear that I might need directions if I'm to be able to visit Ed & Doris Schreiber this fall? Hahaha
