County to replace two box culvert bridges south of Buffalo; roads to be closed for weeks
Summary
An engineering presentation outlined replacement of two box culvert bridges south of Buffalo, with sequential work expected to close roads for roughly three to four weeks; crew scheduling and excavator rental were discussed.
County engineering staff reported that crews have started work on a box culvert replacement project south of Buffalo and that two structures will be replaced in sequence. The engineer (Speaker 6) and presenter (Speaker 7) said the two bridges will be replaced one after the other and that "we'll have the roads closed" for the duration of the work; an estimated window of "3, 4 weeks" was mentioned for the closures. The presenters described using an 8-by-8 box and discussed renting an excavator from Ziegler to complete both projects while minimizing overall rental time.
Board members and staff discussed equipment logistics, rental rates and the schedule for setting the structures. They also noted ongoing repair work and troubleshooting on another machine and said having projects close together would reduce costs and improve crew efficiency. No specific contract awards or funding authorizations were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
