The Cass County Board of Supervisors today (Friday) approved a Federal Aid Agreement for a bridge replacement project on N-28, two-miles south of Highway 92, over a tributary to the West Nodaway River, near the Montgomery County line .

The agreement stipulates the County will comply with all Federal requirements that enable to the County to receive money for projects, which in this case amounts to 80-percent of the bridge cost. The bridge is expected to cost $600,000.

The Board also adopted a “Resolution to revise [the] Cass County Five-Year Program,” by advancing a bridge project on Akron Road, over a tributary of Crooked Creek, in Grant Township. Bridge #347 is on the Cass-Audubon County line. Audubon County will reimburse Cass County for half the project cost. The Resolution moves the project and costs from the 2016 Fiscal year to the 2017 Fiscal Year.

The Cass County Board of Supervisors also approved a request by Marker to put gravel on a Level B – or, dirt – road, that serves as access for the Griswold Golf Course, on the south side, one-mile north of Highway 92. The rock will cost about $10,000, but Marker says the County is in the position to make that happen.

A bridge that normally makes the Golf Course accessible, will be replaced beginning next Monday (August 3rd). The project is expected to be mostly complete by mid-November. The alternate road mean while, will remain Level B.
