Engineers recommend prioritizing Ringling bridge for state funding; commissioners back plan
Summary
DCI Engineers recommended focusing state funding on the Ringling bridge as the county's first bridge project; commissioners agreed and Commissioner Brewer asked staff to seek grant money for the Cottonwood bridge near Martinsdale.
Cory Claussen of DCI Engineers told the Meagher County commissioners there are bridges the county has considered replacing that may be less eligible for state funding than others. Claussen recommended the Ringling bridge as the first bridge for replacement under state funding programs; the board agreed to follow that recommendation.
Commissioner Brewer suggested county staff and the road crew pursue grant funding for the Cottonwood bridge near Martinsdale as a secondary priority. The commissioners discussed various bridge structures and waterway crossing considerations; no formal motion to apply for a specific grant was recorded at this meeting, but the board directed staff to pursue funding opportunities for prioritized bridges.
The recommendation sets Ringling as the immediate priority for replacement planning and positions Cottonwood as a subsequent candidate for grant pursuit.
