Woodbury County to replace timber bridge on 120th Street over Mud Creek
Summary
Secondary Roads presented plans to replace an aging timber bridge on D 42 (120th Street over Mud Creek) using DOT bridge funding; the project is scheduled to be let in January for 2026 construction and will widen and lengthen the crossing.
Woodbury Countys Secondary Roads department presented plans for a DOT-funded replacement of an aging timber bridge on D 42 at 120th Street over Mud Creek. Laura Sievers said the existing structure is an old timber bridge that needs replacement and that the new span will be wider and longer to meet current load and safety standards.
Sievers told the board the project will use all available DOT bridge funding and is scheduled to be let in January with construction planned for 2026. Board members asked questions about timing and impact on local farmers; Sievers confirmed the project follows typical bridge-replacement procedures and will comply with federal and state requirements for DOT-funded work.
The board voted to receive the cover sheet for the project plans, to approve the plan set and to adopt the construction approach that complies with DOT funding requirements. Motions to receive and to approve the plans were made and passed unanimously, 5-0.
The board signed the cover sheet to allow the project to proceed through DOT funding channels and indicated they would facilitate required signatures and compliance steps.
