(Wright County, IA) – Two bridge projects took up the bulk of a brief meeting of the Wright County of Supervisors on July 1. County Engineer Adam Clemons said the new bridge on C-70 near Woolstock should be open sometime between July 10-12, depending on the weather and guardrail delivery.
The board also approved a funding agreement for a bridge on Taylor Avenue south of Belmond, just past Tyrell’s Grove. The 100-foot bridge project is estimated to cost $850,000. Bids will be heard in early 2025, with construction starting next summer.
Supervisor Dean Kluss said he would be meeting with Attorney Tim Whipple and representatives from other counties to review the decision issued last week by the Iowa Utilities Board. The IUB will allow Summit Carbon Solutions to use eminent domain to build the proposed carbon capture pipeline. The IUB also approved the route as proposed, with very few changes.
