(KLZA)--Richardson County Commissioners spent a portion of their Tuesday meeting discussing road projects.  

Commissioners approved a proposal to allow a small bridge to be removed and replaced with a tube south of Rulo.

Steve Johansen volunteered to remove the bridge and install a tube on 660 Avenue, south of 704 Road, to allow more suitable access for modern farm equipment. 

A 50-foot culvert will be put in to replace the bridge, with the understanding the County provides a length of 24-feet, but the cost for the remaining 26-feet of culvert is the responsibility of Johansen.

Johansen also discussed the service he provided to the County to bore a tube under the blacktop road south of Rulo to help with water drainage. 

District 3 Commissioner Terry Frank reported that he has met with the Humboldt Cemetery Board regarding the road leading to the cemetery, which is a city street.  Frank said he would attend a City Council meeting in Humboldt to discuss the costs to upgrade the road and place rock.  

Highway Superintendent Scott Huppert noted that in the past, The City of Humboldt has paid for the rock and the hauling of the rock for that road.
