The Road Commission believes the above listed bridges have the highest chances of being selected for funding in the 2023 fiscal year.

If the bridge is located on a local road, the Township or other local source would be responsible for sharing 50% of the local costs with the Road Commission.

Prior to the June 1, 2020 deadline, a current certified Board resolution, signed and dated, supporting the projects will need to be submitted with each bridge funding application.
