Steele County moves forward with three seal-coat projects and two bridge/culvert projects
Summary
After a presentation on funding and timelines, commissioners voted to proceed with three seal coats and two local bridge/culvert projects (County Roads 6 and 20) and asked staff to return with hydraulic studies and cost estimates.
A county presenter reviewed road-priority maps and federal funding timelines, noting that federal-aid bridge applications could not be filed until about 2027 and that some bridge work might require a local share if costs exceed federal caps. "So a lot of these bridge projects got pushed back," the presenter said, explaining funding windows and an anticipated $40,000-per-mile seal-coat estimate.
Commissioners voted to proceed with three seal-coat projects and two local bridge projects (County Roads 6 and 20) and asked staff to provide a hydraulic study, pipe sizing and cost estimate for board consideration at the next meeting. Funding strategy discussed included one-time state relief (house bill 1505) and prairie-dog funds as primary sources; staff said a combined program could run about $1.2 million depending on bid results.
