Jackson County approves temporary road closures for Timber City Adventure Race on June 27
Summary
The board approved temporary secondary-road closures and staff support for the June 27 Timber City Adventure Race (approx. 8 a.m.–noon), including monitored intersections with deputy presence; the county engineer and supervisors discussed safety logistics at Highway 61/Hurstville.
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors approved a request from the Maquoketa Chamber to temporarily close specified secondary roads for the Timber City Adventure Race on June 27, with county staff handling trail sweeping and sign placement.
County Engineer (Jaden Shekel) described the route and operations, noting closures would be "temporary" and that staff would set signs the day before and be present the day of the event. Supervisors emphasized safety measures at the Highway 61/Hurstville intersection and discussed allowing limited local access and monitored crossings; the board approved a motion for a "soft temporary closure" of 63rd Street and Hurstville Road for the event (approx. 8 a.m.–noon) and confirmed sheriff's-office coordination for intersection monitoring.
The board's vote authorized secondary-road closures only; supervisors clarified the county will not close the state highway and will instead coordinate monitored crossings and local-traffic allowances. Staff will finalize signage placement and work with secondary-roads and the sheriff's office on day-of traffic control.
