RIO HONDO – The reopening date for the Rio Hondo Bridge has been postponed many times and residents have grown irritated by its push back.

The bridge has been closed for repairs since September, two years ago.

The city mayor says the bridge is what connects Rio Hondo with surrounding communities.

They had planned a celebration to mark the reopening of the bridge but decided Bridge Fest was needed to lift the community’s spirit.
