(KNZA)--Federal funding will be sought through a Kansas Department of Transportation program for the replacement of two Brown County bridges.
Following consultation with a representative of BG Consultants, of Manhattan, the County Commission decided Monday to seek funding through the Off-System Bridge Program for fiscal year 2019 for the replacement of a bridge on 160th Road over a tributary to Buttermilk Creek and a bridge on 180th Road over Grasshopper Creek.
If approved, federal funding would pay for 80 percent of the construction cost with the county responsible for the remaining 20 percent.
KDOT is to announce in September the projects awarded funding.
In other action, Commissioner Keith Olsen announced that construction is to begin later this month on a bridge replacement project on Sunflower Road, about a ½ mile north of K-20.
Husker Steel, of Columbus, Nebraska, has the contract on the around $270,000 project.
