The Decorah City Council has green-lighted a project to build a stone arch bridge in Dunnings Springs Park.  The bridge will replace the current wooden bridge.

City officials Tuesday night announced a major donation to the project from both Deco Products and from Chris and Rhonda Storlie.  Quandahl Construction of Decorah has submitted a bid of $75,195 to complete the bridge.  Stone mason Ted Wilson will be involved in the work.

Decorah Parks & Recreation is using private donations and memorial funds to pay for the project.

The bridge will be "a wonderful addition," said city council member Steve Luse.
