(KNZA)--Federal funding will be sought through a Kansas Department of  Transportation program for the replacement of two Doniphan County bridges.

The Doniphan County Commission agreed Monday to submit an application for funding through KDOT’s Off-System Bridge Replacement program for fiscal year 2020 for the two structures.

The first structure is located at 140th and Castleton Roads, southwest of Denton.  The bridge is on a mail and bus route, has a sufficiency rating of 28.2 and current posting of 3 tons.   It services 10 landowners and 3 homes within a ½ radius.

The second structure is located on Oxide Road, south of the intersection with Ottumwa Road, northeast of Troy.  The bridge is on a mail route, has a sufficiency rating of 16.9 and current posting of 3 tons.  It services 4 homes and eight landowners within a ½ mile radius.

If approved, federal funding would pay for 80 percent of the construction cost with the county responsible for the remaining 20 percent.

KDOT is to announce in September which projects are awarded funding.
