Commissioners choose box-culvert option for White Ash Bridge to avoid county cost-share
Summary
Wold Engineering presented two options for White Ash Bridge — three precast concrete box culverts (about $1.0M, state-funded) or an 80-foot bridge ($1.7M with $700,000 county share); the board approved the box culvert option.
During the Aug. 19 session, Wold Engineering described two options to address the White Ash Bridge replacement. The lower-cost option recommended was three precast concrete box culverts with an estimated cost of $1.0 million and anticipated to be 100% state funded; the alternative was an 80-foot bridge estimated at $1.7 million that would require a county cost share of approximately $700,000 because of additional grade raise, earthwork and railings. The board voted to approve the box culvert option, which Wold Engineering advised would avoid a county cost share.
The transcript shows the board weighed the cost-share implications before voting. The decision was recorded as a unanimous motion in the Aug. 19 minutes; the county will proceed with project steps consistent with the chosen option and the preconstruction schedule already set for related park access work.
