The contract for the bridge deck replacement on W55 or Wayland Road over Crooked Creek was awarded yesterday. The Washington County Board of Supervisors awarded the $1,014,893.65 contract to Iowa Bridge and Culvert. The project will be paid with federal and state funds.

Work on the project is expected to begin in early April and crews will have 120 days to complete the project, meaning the road may be closed for three months. County Engineer Jacob Thorius stated the detour will be the Coppock Road.
