County approves bridge agreement, hears resolutions for local road projects
Summary
Tazewell County board considered transportation resolutions including Country Club Drive and Furl Road; officials described a $2.5 million Burrell Road Bridge project funded with federal bridge funds and discretionary funds and moved the Country Club Drive item forward.
Dan Parr of the Highway Department presented two transportation resolutions to the board: one for 22620 Country Club Drive in Boulder Township and another for Furl Road. Parr said the projects are proceeding with a mix of township, county bridge and state funds and sought the board's approval to proceed with the letting and loan agreements.
Parr also described the Burrell Road Bridge project as a $2.5 million replacement to address a longstanding safety hazard; he said the project will be funded by federal bridge funding the county receives plus $500,000 in discretionary funding. The resolution formalizes an agreement between the state of Illinois, Tazewell County and Cincinnati Road District that specifies funding responsibilities and project roles. A motion was put on the floor and the motion passed during the meeting.
