(KNZA)--Governor Laura Kelly and Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed have announced that 27 local and off-system bridge projects across Kansas--including a project in Doniphan County--will receive a combined total of $40.5 million in state and federal funding as part of two local bridge improvement programs.

Combined with matching funds from the awarded cities and counties, the total project value is over $46.5 million.

According to a release, there are more than 19,000 bridges on local road systems across Kansas, and over 5,000 of those bridges need updates to meet today- standards.

KDOT will award about $20 million through the Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program in Fiscal Year 2026. The funds will go to 11 bridge replacement projects, and an additional four deficient bridges will be permanently removed from local systems.

KDOT will award $20.5 million through the Off-System Bridge program in Fiscal Year 2027 to fund 16 projects across the state--including the replacement of a bridge in Doniphan County.

$1.25 million has been awarded for the replacement of a bridge on Oxide Road over an abandoned railroad about 2 1/2 miles east of Troy. The County will provide about $83,000 matching funds.

For this cycle of the local bridge programs, KDOT received a combined total of 163 applications requesting more than $189 million.
