Jim Meier, Harvey County Road & Bridge Superintendent, told commissioners the state has provided funding for replacement of bridge I‑19.7 on SW 14th St. (west of Anderson Road). He said engineers are preparing plans and expect to begin construction in early 2027, with a required completion window of two years from the start of the project.
