County asked to join multitype bridge grant application for Farmville Road bridge
Summary
Highway staff asked commissioners to approve a resolution to include a Farmville Road bridge in a multi-county Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act construction grant; the county's estimated share of a $750,000 replacement is a $187,500 local match if awarded.
A highway department representative asked the Lee County Commission to adopt a resolution to include the county in a multi-county application for bridge construction funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
"The estimated cost for us to replace this bridge is $750,000," the highway department representative said, identifying the structure on Farmville Road (Lee Road 72 near Lee Road 188) as a priority and noting it currently sits on wood pilings. He said the joint application includes about 17 other Alabama counties and that Lauderdale County is the lead applicant; if the construction grant is awarded the county would be responsible for a 25% local match of approximately $187,500.
Highway staff said the county previously received a planning grant and worked with consultants and neighboring counties to prepare a construction application. The representative asked the commission to approve the resolution so the county's project would be included in the grant package.
