County to Pay for Laughlin Bridge
County officials today agreed to pick up the tab for liability insurance on a privately financed $3-million bridge designed to carry casino workers and gamblers to the booming resort town of Laughlin, Nev.
Their action is designed to break an impasse that developed last month after the span over the Colorado River was dedicated by the governors of Nevada and Arizona. The bridge is designed to replace river boats that were used to ferry gamblers and workers between Laughlin and Bullhead City, Ariz. Laughlin developer Don Laughlin paid for the 750-foot bridge personally.
