For approximately $800,000 a Washington County bridge will be replaced on County Road G26. Washington County Engineer Jacob Thorius explained the project at this week’s Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting, the bridge was built in 1950 and is deteriorating. The supervisors approved the Iowa Deparment of Transportation Federal aid agreement for the replacement.

Thorius added it is in the design phase now and will be let through the DOT in December. It will be replaced with a triple box culvert.
