Summary
County highway staff outlined summer plans including a 6.69-mile pulverize-and-repave on County Road E with culvert replacement, reconditioning work on County Roads I, C and M, and three bridge projects (P17936, P17915, B1778) with tentative mid-May to mid-July starts.
A Dunn County Highway Department representative outlined the department's plans for the coming construction season, including paving, reconditioning and bridge rehabilitation projects.
Key items include a County Road E pulverize-and-repave project from I-94 to State Highway 40 in the town of Red Cedar (6.69 miles) that will include replacing a deteriorated culvert and is expected to begin in late April with paving in May. County Road I (Sand Creek to the Barron County line) is listed as a reconditioning project with shoulder widening and ditch work expected to start in late April or early May; the department said it is still evaluating whether a detour using Barron County roads will be required.
Other planned county projects are County Road C (reconditioning) with an early June start and County Road M reconditioning from County Road M to County Road A with a late July to early August anticipated start. The department also listed three bridges: P17936 (County Road Q, Wilson Creek) with a tentative mid-May start and 50 working-day contract; P17915 (County Road P, Irving Creek) with a tentative mid-July start and 40 working-day contract; and B1778 (County Road D, Red Cedar River) with schedule to be determined.
The highway representative thanked emergency management, the sheriff's department and state patrol staff for snow-response work over a recent storm, and emphasized interagency coordination during peak weather events.
