Southaven authorizes up to $240,000 for State Line Road widening and $11,000 for bridge inspections
Summary
Council approved two engineering work authorizations: up to $240,000 for design and bidding on a State Line Road widening project and up to $11,000 for inspection of five city bridges/boxes that do not qualify for state aid this year; staff said four other bridges qualified for state aid and will be inspected under that program.
The board authorized two engineering work orders: one for design, topography, testing and bidding for the State Line Road widening (authorization not to exceed $240,000) and a second authorizing up to $11,000 for inspection of five city-owned box culverts/bridges not covered by state-aid programs this year.
Staff briefing: A staff member explained that nine bridges were reviewed, four qualify for state-aid inspection and will be carried by the state-aid system (no city expense), and five are city routes; the inspection work for the five non-state-aid structures will be a city expense this year capped at $11,000. The State Line Road project would widen the road from a two-lane section to three lanes west of Highway 51 with design and bidding tasks included in the $240,000 authorization.
Vote and next steps: Council approved both work authorizations on roll call. Staff said inspection and rating results would inform future maintenance planning and potential state-aid inclusion.
