Board authorizes bridge replacement agreement and signs off on SS4A grant documents

Van Buren County Board of Supervisors · June 23, 2025

Summary

County Engineer Ryne Thornburg briefed supervisors on a bridge replacement project and road maintenance work; the board authorized Iowa DOT Agreement No. 5-25-HBP-S-012 for the 235th Road bridge and approved signing documents related to an SS4A grant application.

County Engineer Ryne Thornburg updated the board on secondary roads work and presented a Federal‑Aid Agreement for a bridge replacement on 235th Road over Reeds Creek (Project #BROS-CO89(107)—8J-89). On motion by House, seconded by Meek, the board authorized Iowa DOT Agreement No. 5-25-HBP-S-012 for that bridge replacement.

Thornburg also reported the board authorized the chairman and county engineer to sign documents related to a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant application, enabling the county to pursue federal road‑safety funding. Thornburg provided operational updates: a rock pile was placed at Comanche Quarry; Denco Highway Construction Corp partially completed leveling culvert depressions on Route J16 with remaining work expected late July/August; and Grout Scouts will line culverts under Route W46 between Route W40 and the Lee County line during the second week of July.
