(KLZA)-- Following a 45 minute public hearing on the proposed One & Six Year Road Plan for Richardson County Wednesday, the County Commissioners approved the plan presented by Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr.
Two people were present for the hearing with Robert Storant raising concerns about a bridge on 707 Road east of 630 Avenue located southwest of Humboldt. Storant requested the County apply for funding through the multi-jurisdictional grant funding program and include the project to replace the bridge on the 6-Year Road plan. In addition he requested more overweight signs be posted at different locations before approaching the bridge.
Darveau indicated this particular bridge is not a priority for replacement and that a road has been improved to provide another access to the property in the area. He estimated the cost to replace the bridge at approximately $2 million.
The plan approved includes replacement of a bridge on 717 Road between 640 and 641 Avenue at a cost estimated at $1.5 million. It is one of 10 projects on the One-Year plan.
The Six-Year Plan includes 16 projects plus an additional 7 bridge replacement projects.
The Six-Year Plan once again includes hard surfacing of the road to Brenner Field, known as The Airport Road in Falls City with the counties portion of the cost estimated at $2 - million.
