Morrison County approves $11.5 million transportation program, prioritizes bridge replacements

Tony (county engineer/public works) presented the county's 2026 Transportation Improvement Program and asked the board to approve the plan and authorize the county engineer to proceed. He said the program addresses just over 35 miles of pavement, includes a reconstruction of County 76 with removal of recycled concrete, and anticipates roughly 107,000 tons of hot mix and about $11,500,000 of work for the year. Tony told the board roughly $3,000,000 of that total is expected from external sources, including LRIP and federal funds, with state aid and local option sales tax contributing as well.
