(NRN)--A working group is developing a system for doling out 40-million dollars for county bridge improvements across Nebraska.
The matching program comes from the Transportation Innovation Act, which was signed into law this month.
Nebraska Department of Roads’ State Bridge Engineer Mark Traynowicz is part of the working group.
He says the emphasis should be on innovation.
Traynowicz says the group will consider a lot of input when creating the distribution method.
The program criteria and guidelines will be submitted to the legislature by December first. The selection of bridge projects will likely occur next year. The County Bridge Match Program is set to end in 2023.
