The Wapello County Board of Supervisors voted March 24 to accept a County Bridge Construction Fund grant from the Iowa Department of Transportation toward replacing the Eldon Bridge over the Des Moines River.
Vice Chair Carrie Teninty moved to accept the grant and Supervisor Bryan Ziegler seconded; the board recorded 'all ayes' and the motion carried. The meeting record does not state a dollar amount for the grant or a project timeline.
