County receives federal funds to replace Sneakville Road bridge By Denise Freitag Burdette Assistant Editor newsroom@registerpublications.com
The project is not slated to begin until 2024, but the county has received $1,012,000 in Federal Highway Administration construction and construction inspection funds for the replacement of Bridge 64 along Sneakville Road, over Salt Creek, east of Mount Pleasant Road. The estimated total cost will be about $2.3 million, including design, rightof-way, utility relocation, construction and construction inspection, said Todd Listerman, Dearborn County engineer. The initial funds awarded will help get the project started, he said. Indiana Department of Transportation will award funding for other phases of the project at a later date. FHWA funds are adminis-
tered by INDOT. The county will fund a 20 percent match to the final costs, said Listerman. The entire bridge will be replaced as well as a hump in the bridge. A curve leading up to the bridge also may be realigned, he said.
