Moorhead proposes $1.1 million street rehabilitation with storm‑sewer upgrades; $60,000 in special assessments

Clay Lexson, an engineer for the City of Moorhead, said the city plans a street rehabilitation project on 10 and a Half Street and 17th Avenue next summer that the city estimates will cost about $1.1 million and will be funded with federal grants, the city stormwater fund, a general obligation bond and roughly $60,000 in special assessments.

The project is intended to improve drainage and pavement longevity. "These changes are projected to greatly improve drainage in the project area," Lexson said. The scope includes installing a new storm main on 10 and a Half Street, adding catch basins and manholes where needed, and replacing the storm main at the corner of Tenth Street and 17th Avenue. Lexson described the work as a rehabilitation project; much of the pavement will be addressed with rehabilitation techniques so the streets will have longer-term performance than a simple surface treatment.
