Knob Noster seeks $700,000 federal CPF funding to replace Washington Avenue bridge
Summary
The city requested $700,000 through FY26 Community Project Funding via Representative Mark Alford's office to replace a 40-foot steel girder Washington Avenue bridge that carries about 1,000 cars per day and serves as a student route.
City officials discussed a Community Project Funding (CPF) request for fiscal year 2026 submitted through Representative Mark Alford's office seeking $700,000 to fully replace the Washington Avenue bridge. The minutes state the bridge is a 40-foot steel girder structure that serves as a primary north-south collection route for Knob Noster and that approximately 1,000 cars per day travel it; it is also the route students use to walk and drive to school.
Why this matters: the bridge is locally significant for daily traffic flow and school access; a complete replacement would be a capital project with substantial cost and construction implications. The minutes record the funding request amount and the bridge's importance but do not show Board action authorizing matching funds or a construction timeline.
