#Denville – County to Close Bridge At Denville-Randolph Border for Repairs Next Month
County to Close Bridge At Denville-Randolph Border for Repairs Next Month
Posted Tuesday, July 17th, 2018
Openaki Road Bridge to be Shut from Aug. 8-10
The busy Openaki Road Bridge in Denville, a one-lane span that crosses the Den Brook at Openaki Lake, at the Randolph border, will be closed to traffic for at least three days next month to allow for repairs to a recently discovered structural flaw.
Openaki Road Bridge
State bridge crews, during a routine inspection, discovered a flaw in the concrete deck on the bridge, which requires immediate repair.
While the bridge currently is safe to use, that section of the bridge deck must be fixed as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration.
The bridge is scheduled to be fully replaced in 2020 but the existing bridge must be kept in service until that time.
Cracks in the road surface
The repair work, to be done by the county Bridge Division, has tentatively been scheduled for Aug. 8, 9, and 10, prior to the start of the school year.
County officials have reached out to officials in Randolph and Denville to advise them of the issue, and to coordinate the repair work schedule and a detour plan.
During the work, Openaki Road, which becomes Casterline Road in Randolph, will be closed and traffic will be detoured from Shongum Road to Everdale Road to Mountainside Drive. Motorists should plan for alternate routes, especially during commuter hours.
The Openaki Road Bridge, a steel stringer structure, was built in 1924 and was rehabilitated in 1992. The 15.5-foot-wide, 54-footlong bridge carries an average of 4,600 vehicles daily. It is posted to carry 13 tons.
The recent inspection by the state Department of Transportation found that a portion of the deck slab was fractured and had settled, exposing the bridge’s reinforcement steel.

July 13, 1925, Walt Disney marries Lillian Bounds
July 13, 1925, Walt Disney marries Lillian Bounds
The following account of how Walt Disney met and married Lillian Bounds is from Diane Disney Miller, daughter of Walt Disney. She is also the founder of The Walt Disney Family Museum® Disney Enterprises, Inc.
Walt and Lillian’s anniversary party at Disneyland – WaltsApartment.com
In December 1923, Lillian Bounds arrived in Los Angeles from Lewiston, Idaho, where she had attended business college. She decided to move to Los Angeles to live with her older sister, Hazel.
The Alice series was just beginning and the Disney brothers brought Kathleen Dollard on board to help out. They asked Kathleen if she knew anyone else that could help and she mentioned “a stenographer who’s not doing anything at the moment.” Walt asked Kathleen to see if she would work for them.
Lillian decided to apply for the job since it was within walking distance from her home. She went to the Kingswell Studio for the interview. She met Walt for the first time and remembered that he wasn’t wearing a suit but had “a brown coat, sweater, raincoat and pants.” She was offered the job for fifteen dollars a week. Lillian’s seven year-old niece, Marjorie Sewell, walked her to the studio so she wouldn’t get lost on her first day.
Walt would frequently offer to drive Lillian and Kathleen, the other ink-and-paint girl, to their homes in the studio’s Ford roundabout (also called a runner) during the early days of the Studio. As the story goes, Walt always dropped off Lillian last, even if her home was closer. The old Ford had one seat and an open back. Lillian took a small amount of pride that Walt wanted to spend more time with her.
Lillian was hired on January 19, 1924 in the Ink and Paint Department. Walt and Lilly would be married a year and a-half later on July 13, 1925 at her brother’s house in Idaho. During that time, Lillian worked her way from Ink-and-Paint Girl to Walt’s personal secretary. Bob Thomas’ biography of Roy Disney, Building a Company, offers a tantalizing quote on the subject of Lillian’s performance:
“I was not very artistic at all, and I was not very good at inking and painting,” Lilly admitted. “Later, Walt made me his secretary, but I made too many mistakes when he was dictating. He always said I was so bad that he had to marry me.”
Walt was unsure about meeting Lilly’s extended family because of his absence of proper clothes. One evening, he asked Lillian if he could visit her if he got a suit. After she agreed, Walt and Roy went to Foreman and Clark’s and bought suits. Roy spent $35.00 for a one-pant suit while Walt spent $40.00 for a suit with two pair of pants. When he visited Lillian, he arrived in a gray-green and double breasted suit and “he looked very handsome.” Obviously, Lillian’s family liked him without hesitation.
Diane Disney Miller recounts the story of her parents first kiss in the Story of Walt Disney.
Mother has never talked much to me about Father’s courting, but she did break down once and tell me of the first time he kissed her. It happened one night when they were working late and Mother was taking dictation. “Suddenly,” she said, your father leaned over and kissed me.”
“What did you do?” I asked.
“I blushed,” Mother said. “It was customary in those days.”
