Culvert work to began next month on Weyerts Road

Cheyenne County will begin a new road project in conjunction with the state of Nebraska in August.

The Weyerts Road project will involve installing a box culvert, which is a cement culvert that goes across the road instead of a bridge. This will replace a bridge that was washed out in 2010, said Cheyenne County Highway Superintendent, Tom Noel.

Cheyenne county decided to use a culvert because it's cheaper to construct than a bridge.

Weyerts Road is located northwest of Lodgepole. This project uses state funding and will cost approximately $277,000.
