205th Street bridge project slated for spring start-up
After ten years of planning, the 205th Street bridge project could begin construction as early as this summer. The village board approved an additional 86000 for land acquisition, bringing total land costs to 500000. The 4.2 million project is funded by ISTEA through a federal program with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state shares. The three‑lane bridge will carry two vehicle lanes and a pedestrian sidewalk, with a future hike and bike trail expansion. Maintenance will transfer to the Public Works Department after completion.
