The City of South Hutchinson City Council unanimously agreed in principle Tuesday night to accept an offer by Reno County to assist in the replacement of the Scott Boulevard bridge. Reno County Public Works Director Don Brittain consulted with an engineer that the county works with regularly for their own projects and it is believed that a bridge can be built for about half the price of the original $700,000 estimate by using a different type of design and construction. “With the help of Reno County, we’re hoping to save our taxpayers about $350,000,” Mayor Matt Nisly said after the meeting. “We are fortunate to have them as a partner and I appreciate the efforts of Commissioner Hirst in reaching this win-win resolution.”
