(Holdrege, Neb.) – The Central Nebraska Public Power & Irrigation District has announced an upcoming bridge replacement project to take place near Johnson Lake.
Beginning on March 24, the Schilling timber bridge construction project is set to begin replacing the current timber bridge with a new concrete bridge. The location of the bridge is west and upstream of the Johnson Lake inlet on the Dawson/Gosper County line on Road 750. During the approximately three-month construction timeline, a section of Road 750 will be closed between County Road 425 and County Road 426.
Last year, the CNPPID Board of Directors approved the bridge replacement project with a work order cost of $684,600. The project was delayed from Fall 2024 to Spring 2025 due to underground utility work. This Schilling Bridge project is part of the District’s continuing effort to improve aging infrastructure.
