Show Duchesne bridges to be replaced The Utah Department i of Transportation opened bids recently on a project to replace two bridges 1 which span Red Creek in Duchesne County. The bridges, which are situated approximately . one-half mile apart, are ' located on a county road about twenty-four miles west of Duchesne and four miles south of US-40. i The apparent low bid of $112,870 was turned in by i L.C. Nelson Construction f Company of Provo. The , official engineer's estimate for the work was ' $175,515. I During construction, temporary culverts will i be installed downstream f from both bridges to divert traffic around the con- struction sites. The con-' con-' tract allows 120 working i days for completion. ' These bridges are being replaced with 80 percent Federal participation and 20 percent local matching I funds being provided by ' Duchesne County. UDOT is providing contract ad- minstration because Federal funds are involv-I involv-I ed, but Duchesne County and its consulting engineer will have premary jurisdiction over the project. |
