May 20, 2025

Crow Wing County staff recommended a thinner, shorter-lived overlay for a portion of County Road 170 near Mapleton Road after Sourcewell and the City of Baxter asked the county to delay a longer-life reconstruction while they finalize development plans.

The full story

County Engineer Tim Bridal recommended the county apply a thinner overlay expected to last roughly 5–8 years to a short stretch of County Road 170 near Mapleton Road rather than the 3-inch, longer-life surfacing planned for 2026, after Sourcewell and the City of Baxter requested time to complete development planning.
