Highway department reports $1.2 million Highway W blacktop work and flags airport master plan
Summary
Highway staff reported completion of about 6 miles of blacktop on Highway W with a project cost reported at $1.2 million and said the airport master plan is expected by year-end, with potential long-term projects tied to FAA rules.
The Sawyer County Highway Department updated the board on recent paving work and long-term airport planning.
Highway staff said the department completed roughly 6 miles of blacktop on Highway W and reported a project cost of about $1,200,000. The presenter praised departmental estimating work and noted the project came in close to the estimate. The department said it had not yet been invoiced for certain work tied to the project but that the contractor was ahead of schedule.
On airport planning, staff said a master plan will be presented to the full board by the end of the year. The presenter said potential future projects related to larger aircraft operations would be long-term (discussed on a 10–15 year timeline) and would involve Federal Aviation Administration requirements; staff emphasized that runway length itself would not be extended but some displaced-threshold or airfield-area changes could be necessary to comply with FAA rules.
The update was informational; no formal actions were taken.
