(KNZA)--Plans for a Doniphan County bridge replacement project move forward.
The Doniphan County Commission, when they met Monday, approved an agreement with the Kansas Department of Transportation for the replacement of a bridge on 195th Road, about two miles east of Troy.
Under the agreement, KDOT will be responsible for 80 percent of the construction cost, with the county responsible for the remaining 20 percent.
According to the unofficial meeting minutes, bid letting for the project is scheduled this November, with construction taking place in 2023.
In other business, Commissioner Wayne Grable asked 2nd District Road District Foreman Sean Price the plan for the rebuilding of 150th Road from K-7 Highway to Port William Road.
Price said the road crew is currently working on side roads to accommodate the relocation of traffic while work is being performed on 150th Road. He said the crew has 3-4 days of patch work to complete prior to chip seal, with the 150th Road project commencing around July 1st. The project will begin on the east end and work west.
And on the recommendation of County Clerk Peggy Franken, the Board approved a pay increase for election board workers from $7.25 an hour to $10 an hour, beginning with the August 2nd primary election.
