(KNZA)--Brown County will seek funding through the Kansas Department of Transportation for the replacement of a bridge located on the Brown-Nemaha County line nearly 4 miles northeast of Wetmore.
The Brown County Commission Monday gave Moni El-Assar with the engineering firm BG Consultants of Manhattan approval to apply for funding through KDOT’s Off-System Bridge Program for fiscal year 2020 for the replacement of a steel truss bridge on Acorn Road over Muddy Creek.
If approved, funding through the program would pay for 80 percent of the construction cost. Brown and Nemaha Counties would split the remaining 20 percent along with engineering costs.
The counties should learn in September if the project is selected for funding.
