The Kansas Department of Transportation approves the funding for the repair of a bridge located near Sycamore in Montgomery County.

 

The $1.9 million in funding comes through the Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program and will go toward repairs to a bridge located three miles north and three miles west of Sycamore. Another $1.6 million will go to similar repairs to an Elk County bridge located northwest of Howard.

 

Additional funds through the Off-system Bridge Program will go toward bridges over Pumpkin Creek in both Wilson and Labette Counties.

 

Both local bridge programs are part of the KDOT Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program.

 

“Programs that provide funding opportunities for local bridge projects are key to helping communities address infrastructure needs that might otherwise go unmet,” said Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed. “By working together, KDOT and local communities are providing reliable infrastructure that Kansans can depend on for years to come.”
