County approves letter of support and resolution for CHPBP bridge application east of Anthon
Summary
Woodbury County staff will apply for the Competitive Highway Bridge Program to replace a bridge east of Anthon on D38 (estimated $1.5 million); the board voted 4‑0 to sign a support letter and resolution committing required matching and administrative assurances.
Woodbury County approved sending a letter of support and a resolution committing to the matching and administrative requirements for a Competitive Highway Bridge Program (CHPBP) application to replace a bridge east of Anthon on D38.
Secondary‑roads staff told supervisors the project’s estimated construction cost is about $1.5 million and that typical CHPBP grants cover roughly 65%–80% of construction costs, which could leave the county responsible for roughly $300,000–$525,000 depending on the award. Staff said the county must commit to providing required matching funds and follow grant procedures; the project would likely be bundled with a Monona County DOT project and, if selected, let in October 2028 for construction in 2029.
The board voted unanimously, 4‑0, to approve the resolution and authorize the chair to sign the support letter. Staff encouraged members to invite public input via a website survey and outreach to nearby businesses and residents so the federal reviewers see local need and usage patterns.
Next steps: staff will submit the CHPBP application to the U.S. Department of Transportation and report back on the application status and any required match commitments if the grant is awarded.
