Board signs engineering agreement as Helendale Bridge work begins; county highway projects scheduled
Summary
The Richland County commissioners accepted a supplemental construction engineering agreement for the Helendale Bridge and heard highway updates: paving completion, shoulder work, painting to start next week, and a chip-seal project on five county roads slated to begin later this week.
Jesse Sedler of the Richland County Highway Department told the board Aug. 19 that work on the Helendale Bridge began the previous Monday. Commissioner Nathan Berseth moved to accept and sign a supplemental construction engineering agreement from Interstate Engineering for the Helendale Bridge; Commissioner Rollie Ehlert seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously to approve the agreement.
Sedler also updated commissioners on routine highway work: paving is complete with crews tidying shoulders, painting is expected to start in approximately one week, and a chip-seal project covering County Roads 1, 8, 8E, 10N and 23 is scheduled to start Wednesday or Thursday of the meeting week.
No cost details for the supplemental engineering agreement or schedule milestones beyond the work-start reference were included in the transcript. The board received correspondence about planned City of Wahpeton projects from Interstate Engineering; Auditor/Administrator Sandy Fossum said she will respond.
