The Boone Roads and Capital Improvements Committee recessed Tuesday until July 18 to determine whether the county could approve a contract for the repairs. By then, Timberlane officials will have learned whether Belvidere Township will help pay the village’s share of the costs.
The bridge over Beaver Creek has been closed since February 2012, when one of the deck beams collapsed. About 1,850 motorists use the bridge daily, according to inspection records
Originally, the engineering phases were evenly split between the county and village. The preliminary construction and constructing engineering would be paid 10 percent by Timberlane, 10 percent to the county and 80 percent from the federal government.
However, Belvidere Township may help pay Timberlane’s portion of the design engineering phase to get the project off the ground.
