Montgomery County commissioners hear updates from Public Works on KDOT funding and the Buckeye Street Project in Coffeyville.

 At Monday's county commission meeting, Brandon Beurskins with Public Works gave commissioners an update on several projects in the county. Beurskins says police presence in and around the construction area on south Buckeye Street has been increased due to a number of motorists ignoring the Road Closed signs.

Beurskins also told commissioners that the Kansas Department of Transportation had approved a project to repair a bridge over Onion Creek near Bolton. The cost of the project is estimated to be around $800,000 with another $90,000 needed for inspection. Beurskins said that the project could be completed at no extra cost to the county as long as the cost remained under $1 million.
