Bridge contractor payment troubles

Polk County, Texas

Summary

The contractor rebuilding five bridges in Precincts 2 and 4 bounced checks to material suppliers, and the county has asked the bonding company to step in. Residents shouldn't face extra costs — the bond is supposed to cover it — but the projects may see delays or a new contractor.
