Webster County Supervisors approved an agreement for the Badger Lake Trail Loop, a Civil Service commissioner appointment and truck purchases on Tuesday.
Badger Lake Trail Loop
An agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation signed by supervisors confirmed the receipt of $700,000 in federal funding for the Badger Lake Trail Loop at John F. Kennedy Memorial Park.
“This is just the paperwork process for the loop,” said Matt Cosgrove, director of Webster County Conservation. “We received transportation enhancement dollars for this. This just says we’ll follow the guidelines to receive those funds.”
The feasibility study for the trail was approved by supervisors nearly a year ago.
New weight limits have been placed on a pair of bridges in rural Webster County.
One of those bridges is on 390th Street between Hayes and Indiana avenues. The new weight limits there are:
⢠21 tons for straight bed trucks
⢠32 tons for tractor trailers
⢠34 tons for trucks with two trailers
The other bridge is on 240th Street between Johnson and Kansas avenues. The new weight limits there are:
⢠24 tons for straight bed trucks
⢠35 tons for tractor trailers
⢠36 tons for trucks with two trailers
The county Board of Supervisors approved the new limits Tuesday morning.
There are 184 bridges in Webster County, according to County Engineer Jamie Johll. He said a consultant inspects half of the bridges every year and develops a rating of their condition. An inspection resulted in the weight limits imposed Tuesday.
