Kansas Governor Laura Kelly joined Kansas Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed on Thursday, Aug. 31, to announce that 35 local and off-system bridge projects across the Sunflower State are set to receive a combined $42.3 million as part of two programs from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure law. Gov. Kelly noted that matching funds have pushed the total value of the project to nearly $48.8 million. The Kansas Department of Transportation reshaped the local bridge programs to take advantage of federal funds which have doubled their cash flow as part of the Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program. Dickinson County is set to receive $1,250.000 for the 1100 Avenue Bridge project over Turkey Creek, 2.6 miles east of K-15. The local match is $103,742 or8.5%
