(KNZA)--A Doniphan County bridge replacement project has been selected for funding through the Kansas Department of Transportation.

The Doniphan County Commission learned this week that KDOT has approved $200,000 in funding through the Local Bridge Improvement Program for the replacement of a bridge northeast of Severance.

Doniphan County was among twenty-seven counties that were selected for a funding through the program, which was reinstated by KDOT this summer.

A combined total of $5 million was awarded under the program.

A total of 86 applications from 70 local public agencies were received with requests for more than $14 million in funds.

The program targets bridges that are 20 to 50 feet in length and a daily vehicle count of less than 100.
