O'Brien County adopts resolution to temporarily close segment of Monroe Avenue during snow season
Summary
The O'Brien County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-43 to temporarily close the first half mile north of 400th Street on Monroe Avenue due to a bridge posting weight restriction during snow removal season; 'ROAD CLOSED' signs will be placed at both ends until the snow season ends.
The O'Brien County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 19 adopted Resolution 2024-43 to temporarily close a segment of Local Road Monroe Avenue because of road conditions tied to a bridge weight posting during the snow removal season. Supervisor Friedrichsen moved to adopt the resolution and Supervisor Steensma seconded; the motion carried by all ayes.
The resolution cites Section 306.41 of the Code of Iowa as authority to close roads temporarily for construction, maintenance, natural disaster or unsafe road conditions. The document identifies the affected segment as Monroe Ave, the first half mile north of 400th Street, noting a "Bridge Posting Weight Restriction During Snow Removal Season (L-4)."
As written in the resolution, "'ROAD CLOSED' signs shall be placed on both ends of the described segment of road, and they shall remain in place until the Snow Season is completed." The board did not record any vote tallies by member in the transcript; the entry notes only that the motion "carried by all ayes." The resolution places responsibility on county staff to maintain signage and to keep the closure in effect through the duration of the snow season.
