(KNZA)--Brown County is moving forward with a road reclamation project on a 3 1/2 mile stretch of 270th Road from the U.S. 75 interchange to Coyote Road .
The County Commission voted Friday to approve a contract with Hall Brothers, Inc., of Marysville, for the project, with a two inch instead of a 3 inch asphalt overlay and without the add-on for asphalt on the intersection approaches.
The changes will save nearly $285,000, reducing the total project cost to $1.45 million
The changes will make the county's share about $497,000.
The county was awarded nearly $958,000 through the Kansas Department of Transportation cost share program to help fund the project.
Bids for the project were opened on January 29th.
The project is expected to begin in late April/early May and take 3 to 4 weeks to complete.
