ABC 7 News By Will Hutchison August 2, 2021 COMANCHE COUNTY, Okla. (KSWO) - Some relief for drivers in southeast Comanche County as commissioners announced the completion of a new bridge, years in the making. The new bridge is on Coombs Road just east of Railroad Street. “There used to be an old truss bridge here that has been here forever and ever and ever. It was too narrow to get across, it didn’t hold enough weight and you couldn’t pass one car on it,” said Comanche County Commissioner Gail Turner. Turner said that simply didn’t work with the amount of traffic that uses the bridge. “They have the city sewer plant here and the city treatment plant here beside all the other local traffic. This will be a lot safer for everybody that is traveling on this project. Farmers can get their equipment across a lot easier. It will benefit everyone in this community and everybody going to work. GEO is not that far either, there’s a lot of people that go to GEO that go this way too,” Turner said.
