Union County approves $1 million appropriation for Bridge 33 construction
Summary
The Union County council approved an additional $1,000,000 appropriation from the highway restricted fund for construction of Bridge 33, taking the money from fund code 1173; officials said the money is already in the fund and will be appropriated for the project.
Union County council on Tuesday approved an additional $1,000,000 appropriation from the highway restricted fund for construction of Bridge 33. An agency official told the board, “This is for the construction of bridge 33,” and clarified the money already exists in the restricted fund and must simply be appropriated to proceed.
The council was told the appropriation will come from fund code 1173, which the official described as the designated source for the project. “So, just to be clear, this the million dollars it’s already there. We just haven’t appropriated it,” the official said during the presentation.
Members briefly discussed timing for the work; one member suggested scheduling construction in May or June to avoid peak camping season, but no formal schedule was set. The board approved the appropriation by voice vote.
The appropriation was presented as a budget action rather than a new revenue request: the funds are not newly raised but are being moved into an appropriation line for Bridge 33. Officials did not provide specific contractor names, bid amounts, or a definitive construction start date during the meeting; those details were not specified.
