(KNZA)--A Doniphan County bridge project has advanced.
The Doniphan County Commission this week received a letter from the Kansas Department of Transportation informing them of the awarding of bid for a bridge replacement project on Mineral Point Road over a branch of Peters Creek.
Reece Construction Company, of Scandia, was the successful bidder in the amount of nearly $359,000.
Federal funding through KDOT's Off-System Bridge Program will pay for 80 percent of the construction cost, with the county responsible for the remainder.
The Commission voted to commit $79,000 in funding for the county's portion of the project.
In other business, County road office manager Lindsay Norris informed the Commission that she had contacted KDOT requesting installation of a flashing signal light on Ash Point Road, north of U.S. 36 Highway, warning motorists of the approaching highway. However, KDOT denied the county's request.
As a result, the county Road Department will install a warning sign 14-hundred feet from the intersection.
