(KNZA)--Plans for the replacement of a Brown County bridge about 4 ½ miles southeast of Morrill move forward.
Brown County Commission Chairman Warren Ploeger and County Clerk Melissa Gormley reported Monday on a meeting held last week at the project site near 255th and Falcon Roads.
Among those attending the meeting were representatives of the Kansas Department of Transportation, BG Consultants of Manhattan and the adjacent landowner, Gary Pyle.
Ploeger says plans call for the replacement of the current 20-foot truss bridge, constructed in 1930, with a 26-foot all concrete structure.
He says the project is scheduled to be let in October.
KDOT will fund 80 percent of the construction cost, with the county responsible for the remaining 20 percent.
