State Engineer Targets Savings with New Bridge Designs
Lincoln plans to save about 75,000 annually through cambered back bridges, notably a 700 foot North Platte span cutting nearly 10,000 in costs. Legislature funded 150,000 for bridges, with an estimated 30 percent saving on future replacements. New state offices and quarters for the supreme court commission and auto plate storage are planned, while delinquent corporations face 15 percent penalties. Heating plant improvements in Alliance may boost city value and property heat efficiency.
