(KAIR)--Jefferson County is preparing for a future bridge project.
That follows the announcement, made in late August by the Kansas Department of Transportation, that the state is capitlizing on new revenue from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with funds also allocated through the Kansas Off-System Bridge Program.
According to the unofficial minutes of last weeks meeting of the Jefferson County Commission, Public Works Director Ben Domann met with the Commission. At that time, he asked the County leaders to sign a KDOT document guaranteeing that the County have its part of the grant available, when needed.
According to the minutes, the County's portion will be $77,500, which amounts to a 5 to 6-percent match.
Following a vote of the Commission, the matching funds agreement was signed.
According to a release from KDOT, the bridge in question stands over Slough Creek, about two miles north of Oskaloosa.
The bridge is named among others on the state's 2025 Off-System Bridge Program Projects.
