Richland County signs annual DOT maintenance agreement; highway officials outline bridge and maintenance work
Summary
The County signed its annual maintenance agreement with the North Dakota Department of Transportation and Highway staff reported recent work — pipe installation on CR1, ongoing substructure work at Helendale Bridge with concrete scheduled soon, and discussion of the county snow‑plowing policy.
The Richland County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved signing the county's annual maintenance agreement for federally aided roads with the North Dakota Department of Transportation on Nov. 4.
Jesse Sedler presented the maintenance agreement and related updates. The board approved signing the agreement on a motion by Rollie Ehlert, seconded by Perry Miller. Sedler told commissioners that pipe was installed recently south of Hankinson on County Road 1 and that crews are working on the Helendale Bridge substructures, with concrete expected to be poured this week or early next week; staff still anticipates finishing the bridge work by the end of the year.
Sedler also noted increased truck traffic in the area and said the Sheriff's Department has been supportive while work occurs. County snow‑plowing policy was discussed during the update; the meeting record does not show a formal change to that policy.
The maintenance agreement and updates were presented by county staff; the transcript does not list contract amounts or separate funding authorizations for the bridge work.
