70:12:02:08 –This rule change eliminates the deadline of December 16, 2015, which applied to county bridge improvement grant applications considered in 2016. The rule is also being revised to make clear that county grant applicants must submit highway and bridge improvement plans, or plan updates, by October 15 of the calendar year preceding the grant application deadline. These changes clarify submission deadlines that apply to county bridge improvement grant applicants. This clarification will facilitate administration of the bridge improvement grant program.
