Simpson Road from Magnolia Road to Water Well Road will be reopened late this afternoon following completion of the replacement of an existing deteriorated drainage structure with a new reinforced concrete box (RCB) drainage structure.  The structure is located on Simpson Road, a third of a mile north of Schilling 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 Simpson Road RCB is the second of the two structures in the 2015 RCB and RFB Package to be replaced.
