(KMZA)--State funding has been awarded for a Nemaha County bridge project.
Governor Laura Kelly and Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Julie Lorenz announced Tuesday that Nemaha County has been selected to receive funding as part of the Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program.
This year’s selections include 27 counties and three cities who will receive a combined total of $5.1 million.
KDOT will provide up to $150,000 for the replacement of a bridge on 72nd Road about six miles northwest of Corning. The county will provide a 10 percent local match.
Nemaha County Road and Bridge Supervisor Dennis Ronnebaum said the bridge is a danger to traffic because it is too narrow and is not lined up with the existing road. A new bridge will be wider and aligned with the existing road.
