Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee County Commissioners met Monday to discuss the possibility of repairing the Belvue Bridge.
Pottawatomie County Public Works Director Peter Clark explains what their plans are going forward:

Although a grant could help pay for a large portion of a repair project, Clark says receiving one is far from a guarantee.

As for the engineering study, Clark says the two counties agreed on an 83-17 percent cost-share, with Pottawatomie County paying the larger portion.
The estimated cost of the study is $50,000 to $75,000.
Bridge cameras
Pottawatomie County Commissioner Pat Weixelman proposed installing cameras on the Belvue Bridge to the Wabaunsee County Commission Monday.
The idea came up during a discussion between the two counties about possibly repairing the 65-year-old bridge.
