Crawford Street from Woodward Road to Cunningham Road was reopened to traffic this morning following completion of the replacement of an existing deteriorated drainage structure with a new concrete rigid frame bridge (RFB) drainage structure. The structure is located about a half mile west of Cunningham Road.

Saline County opened bids on the 2015 Reinforced Concrete Box (RCB) and Rigid Frame Bridge Package on March 2, 2015. This project consists of the replacement of two existing drainage structures with new reinforced concrete structures. The low bidder was Reece Construction Company, Inc. of Scandia, Kansas. They were awarded a contract for $194,000.00. The projects are funded from the 2-mil fund for bridge and culvert replacement. The Crawford Street RFB was the first of the two structures in the 2015 RCB and RFB Package to be replaced.
