Leo Frigo Bridge Sinks Further

          The Department of transportation say that the Leo Frigo Bridge sank another 1/4 inch over the weekend. Another one of the piers holding up the bridge sank half an inch last week. Although the bridge is closed due to a pier sinking 2 feet causing the bridge to dip. Digging near the pier likely caused the pier to sink half and inch. The more recent sinking was most likely caused by the rainfall that had happened over the weekend.
