(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has approved a contract for a bridge replacement project over a stream about 2 miles southeast of Kelly.
The Commission voted last week to accept a contract from Bridges, Inc., of Newton, in the amount of $718,162.
The county will provide a $8,000 match.
Federal funding through the Kansas Department of Transportation cost-share program will fund the majority of project cost.
The bid letting took place February 19th, in Topeka.
In other business, the Commission approved allowing the National Parks Service to put up signs in the county indicating where the Pony Express Trail and the Oregon Trail used to run.
A grant will pay for the signs, with the county responsible for the installation of the signs.
