Allamakee County approves IDOT federal-aid agreement for Suttle Creek Road bridge
Summary
The Board approved an Iowa DOT agreement for a bridge replacement on Suttle Creek Road across the Yellow River, with $1,232,000 in federal aid and a total project cost of $1,540,000; the project is bundled with Bremer County.
Allamakee County's Board of Supervisors voted on June 22, 2026, to approve an agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation for a federal-aid bridge replacement project on Suttle Creek Road that includes a crossing of the Yellow River.
County Engineer Brian Ridenour presented the agreement, which the minutes note is bundled with Bremer County. The record shows federal aid of $1,232,000 and a stated total project cost of $1,540,000. The Board approved the agreement by motion 26.228 (Byrnes moved; Keatley second); the minutes record the motion as carried.
Why it matters: replacing the bridge addresses an infrastructure need on a county route and secures federal funding to cover the majority of the listed project cost. The minutes do not specify the county's local share, schedule, contractor selection, or construction timeline; those details will be resolved in subsequent project steps and contract documents.
Next steps: county staff will proceed with execution of the DOT agreement and project administration in coordination with IDOT and the joint Bremer County arrangement; specific scheduling and contracting details were not recorded in the meeting minutes and will be addressed in follow-up actions.
