The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) local assistance division announced that five Nebraska bridge projects in Greeley, Pawnee, Richardson and Polk counties, along with the village of Dunbar, will be eligible for funding through the Off-System Local Bridge Replacement (BRO) Program.

The BRO Program, part of the Bridge Formula Funds, significantly benefits rural communities, focusing funding on protecting, preserving, rehabilitating and replacing crucial off-system bridges in rural areas. NDOT selects these projects based on rigorous inspection data and structural assessments, ensuring the most critical needs are addressed.

The five rural bridge projects selected by structure number are:

• C003932705 Greeley County (Cedar River, 3 mi. N, 7 mi. W of Spalding)
• C006702005P Pawnee County (Turkey Creek, .2 mi. N, 1.7 mi. W of Pawnee City)
• C007432220 Richardson County (Goolsby Creek)
• C007204525 Polk County (S CH of Platte River)
• M077041833 Village of Dunbar (Little Nemaha River)

"This funding is greatly appreciated and much needed in rural Nebraska to make improvements to our aging infrastructure," said Lance Harter, Greeley County superintendent. "This funding opportunity will enhance safety and improve connectivity in Greeley County."
