(KNZA)--Emergency repairs will be made to a Doniphan County road on the southwest edge of Troy damaged by heavy rainfall in September.
The Doniphan County Commission voted this week to purchase 1,000 tons of rip rap from Whetrock Inc. at a cost of $15.50 a ton to make the necessary repairs to 180th Spur Road, which is old K-7 Highway.
A letter from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which conducted an on-site damage assessment, said the site currently creates an imminent threat to life and property and qualifies for funding through the Emergency Watershed Protection program
The NRCS has estimated the cost of the repair project at around $42,000, which includes stabilization construction and anticipated materials.
Doniphan County will be responsible for 25 percent of the cost or just over $10,000, which may be in-kind.
