(Clarinda, Iowa) – The Page County Engineer reports part of a bridge guard rail along 180th Street was recently stolen. Engineer JD King said the rail was stolen from the bridge located at the intersection of 180^th and H Avenue. He suspects the railing was stolen for scrap money. Some of the rail was recovered by secondary roads crews and brought back to the shop, but King told the Page County Supervisors, Tuesday, that several of the posts are still unaccounted for.

There were no cameras nearby to capture the incident. King sadi the county’s insurance will not cover the loss of the rail. It’s not clear was the dollar loss of theft amounted to.
