REPORT

Approval of the recommended action will authorize the purchase of additional right-of-way required to facilitate the replacement of an existing structurally deficient two-lane bridge on Lincoln Avenue, as shown on Exhibit A.  There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action; the Travers Creek Bridge Replacement on Lincoln Avenue project (Project) is eligible for 100% reimbursement under the Federal Highway Bridge Program.  This item pertains to a location in District 4.

 

ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
