Geneva County awarded Rebuild Alabama funds for L. Vaughn Road bridge; Poole Road bridge replacement estimated at $600,000
Summary
The county received a notice of award for up to $300,000 in Rebuild Alabama funds for the L. Vaughn Road bridge with a $50,000 local match; the county engineer estimated Poole Road bridge replacement could cost about $600,000, which will affect future paving priorities.
Chairman Toby Seay read an official notice awarding Rebuild Alabama funds for the L. Vaughn Road bridge project: up to $300,000 in state Rebuild funds with a $50,000 local commitment. County Engineer Justin Barfield said the engineering firm is preparing deed descriptions to approach adjacent property owners for right-of-way donations and warned replacement bridges will be set higher than the originals, requiring longer slopes and potentially more private property impacts.
Barfield estimated the Poole Road bridge replacement could cost about $600,000 and said such bridge projects will influence how Rebuild paving funds are allocated in future years. The L. Vaughn award and these bridge cost considerations were presented as items that will affect next year's paving list and budgeting.
