Funding available for local governments for bridge repairs

Local governments across the state can get help in replacing and repairing bridges.

State Transportation Department Secretary Joel Jundt says they have a couple of programs available.

Jundt says counties and townships can get help removing old structures.

Jundt says the legislature has been helping local governments pay for some of the replacement costs.

Lake County is planning to apply for funding for up to three structures in the county through the Local Federal Bridge Replacement program.
