The Marshall County Commissioners and highway department personnel did a final walk through of the Apple Road bridge project Tuesday afternoon. Highway Administrator Laurie Baker told the commissioners Monday that this will close out the project.
“Once all of the bills are in on that I can do my closeout on last year’s Community Crossings,” said Baker. “A rough estimate – I think we’re going to be over about $212,000. I don’t have my final bills so don’t hold me to that. It looks like we’ll be returning a little bit over $100,000 back to INDOT. We’ll still have $100,000 to work with for next year’s match.”
Bids for projects for this year’s Community Crossings grant funds will be opened during the next commissioner’s meeting on Oct. 16. Those projects include work on Beech Road from U.S. 6 to 3B Road, North Michigan Street from Tyler to 1st Road and South Michigan Street from Dewey Street to State Road 110.
The total amount that Marshall County will receive from this round of Community Crossings grants is $518,322.87.
