Lincoln County Commissioners Discuss Bridge Match Program
The Lincoln County Commissioners considered multiple actions to urge residents to support the extension of the county bridge match program.
NACO requested that every county in Nebraska issue a press release and a letter of support for the program to the Nebraska Department of Transportation.
- The state contributes 55% of the cost to replace bridges under the program.
- Without the program, the burden falls on Lincoln County taxpayers.
“It’s a huge help for those bridges that aren’t on the state system or something that would make it eligible for other funding as well,”
“It’s a great program, you can bundle with other counties, that’s been successful in the past,”said county highway superintendent Jason Schultz.
