Board heard that the Allen/Johnson bridge received a federal local bridge program award with a low 5% local match and that Hebert Construction (Iron America) was the successful bidder at $1,360,000.

During the Road Commission presentation, the presenter said the Allen/Johnson bridge project was successful in a federal local bridge program application and that a contractor bid had been accepted. "So we applied, 2 years ago and we were successful in getting the Allen Johnson or bridge funded... 1,360,000," the presenter said, and noted the local match required for that award would be 5 percent.
