The Cook County Board of Commissioners on March 24 approved a bonding agreement to accept bridge‑replacement grant funds to install a box culvert across Otis Creek as part of the Arrowhead Trail project.
Highway staff described the project as replacing an undersized culvert and said bonding would cover roughly half the cost of the structure — described in the meeting as "a little over $170,000." The board passed a motion to accept the grant and the accompanying agreement.
What happens next: Highway staff will proceed with contract execution and project scheduling for the culvert replacement under the terms of the grant agreement.
