Commission authorizes application for MODOT 7-Arch bridge grant
Summary
County commissioners gave permission to apply for a MODOT bridge replacement grant for the historic '7-Arch' bridge site. Staff said the project could range from repair to building a new adjacent structure, with potential costs likely exceeding $1 million.
A county presenter asked for and received commission approval to apply to MODOT for a grant to address the county's 7-Arch bridge. "On with Groden Bridge, I'd like to apply for a grant for a bridge replacement on the northern part of the county, 7 Arches," the presenter said, adding the award decision would be known in December.
Commissioners discussed whether the grant would finance repair of the existing structure or construction of a new bridge adjacent to the historic span; the presenter said both options are being examined and noted a likely overall cost "over 1,000,000 dollars." The commission voted to authorize the application and to await the study and cost estimate that will inform design and preservation choices.
