Jackson County approves plans for 458th Avenue bridge replacement
Summary
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 1165 on Feb. 10 to accept plans, specifications, contract form and a cost estimate for the replacement of the bridge on 458th Avenue; bids will be posted after approval with construction likely in fiscal 2027.
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors approved plans and specifications for the 458th Avenue bridge replacement on Feb. 10, adopting Resolution 1165-02-10-2026 to let the project for bid.
County roads staff told the board the bridge—near the Buckeye area by Preston—will be posted for bids after the resolution is approved, with bids due at the end of February. Staff said award timing and contractor schedules mean work could start this summer but is most likely to occur after July 1 and be charged to the county’s fiscal year 2027 account. “Bids will be due at the end of February,” the staff member said, and “depending on who gets awarded, what the contractor schedule is, maybe they could start this summer,” though staff emphasized the fiscal-year boundary.
Supervisor Mike Stites moved to close the public hearing and to adopt the resolution; the motion was seconded and carried on an unrecorded roll call of ayes. The resolution approves the plans, specifications, form of contract and a cost estimate for the replacement of the bridge on 458th Avenue (Section 22, Township 84, Range 5 E). The board recorded no public comments on the hearing.
Next steps are administrative: staff will post the project for bids and report back on award and schedule. The roads office emphasized the late-start scheduling was chosen to align construction with summer conditions so the new bridge will be available for harvest traffic when possible.
