(KNZA)--A Brown County bridge replacement project moves forward.

The Brown County Commission Monday accepted the low bid submitted by Norfolk Contracting, of Norfolk, Nebraska, for the replacement of a truss bridge on Sunflower Road, north of the K-20 junction, with a 28 by 95 foot steel beam bridge with concrete deck for $299,689.

Norfolk Contracting will provide the labor for the project and Husker Steel will provide the materials.

The bid was among three received.

Commissioner Keith Olsen says the project is expected to begin early next summer and be finished before the 2017 fall harvest season.
