County moves up preliminary grading on County Road 20, approves $250,000 amendment to five-year plan
Summary
Highway staff received board approval to advertise and perform preliminary grading and graveling on County Road 20 this year to improve final paving results; the estimate is $250,000 and funding will come from county smart funds.
The Becker County Highway Department asked the board to advance preliminary grading and graveling on County Road 20 into the current year so the paving scope would benefit from subgrade corrections and winter curing. The department estimated the cost at about $250,000 and said the work would be funded from the county’s 'smart' funds.
Highway staff explained the phased approach will produce a higher-quality paving project and avoid heavy truck traffic on freshly paved surfaces. A motion to amend the five-year plan to add the preliminary work passed unanimously; staff said they would advertise the project and proceed with bidding.
