Summary

County road supervisors updated commissioners on a planned bridge replacement between Sections 29 and 30 in Montrose Township and asked engineering firm KLJ for a box-culvert estimate while KLJ finishes easement paperwork for the County 55 gorge project.

Chairman Austin Lafrenz presided as the Cavalier County Board of Commissioners on March 3, 2026, directed county road staff to seek a boxed-culvert estimate from engineering firm KLJ for a bridge replacement between Sections 29 and 30 in Montrose Township. Terry Johnston, the county road supervisor, reviewed current road projects and the estimate for culverts to replace the bridge, and commissioners asked Johnston to request a formal box-culvert proposal from KLJ.

Sheldon Romfo, the county road foreman, told the commissioners that KLJ is finishing easement paperwork related to the County 55 gorge project, indicating that right-of-way acquisition steps are underway. The board did not set a funding amount at the meeting; further cost details are expected after the county receives KLJ’s box-culvert estimate.

The county also discussed enforcement of load restrictions on county roads and decided not to request assistance from the North Dakota Highway Patrol because the county maintains its own scales.

Next steps: county staff will solicit the box-culvert estimate from KLJ and return to the board with the engineering proposal and cost information for the Montrose Township bridge replacement.
