Cass County Engineer Trent Wolken reports that the bridge replacement project on Boston Rd., one mile east of Hwy 6/Hwy 71 in Cass County, is now open to traffic. The project was completed on time by Murphy Heavy Contracting of Anita.

The project was part of a federal Competitive Highway Bridge Program (CHBP) grant.  The State of Iowa was awarded this $33.4 million grant in 2019.  There were 68 county bridges across the state selected to be built in bundles, where a single construction contract contains multiple bridges.  Cass County’s bridge on Boston Rd. was bundled with a bridge in Guthrie County and built during this construction season.

The county appreciates the work of all parties involved and thanks the public for their patience while the bridge was closed.
