County highway superintendent reports culvert replacement and surfacing plans
Summary
Highway staff reported County Road One was closed for a culvert replacement (culverts installed, awaiting contractor to remove sheet pile), ongoing patching and shoulder widening work on County Road 16A (214th Street), and previewed the 2026 surfacing project schedule.
The highway superintendent updated the commission on recent and upcoming road projects and safety measures.
He said County Road One was closed Aug. 3 for a culvert replacement and that the culverts are now installed; crews are awaiting the contractor to remove sheet piling. Under the patching contract, work progressed on County Road 16A (214th Street), where paving spilled into the next week and county crews followed with shoulder widening. "Brookings County Road One was closed for a culvert replacement. Uh, the culverts are installed and now we're waiting for, uh, the contractor to show up to remove the sheet pile," the highway director said.
The superintendent previewed the 2026 Brookings County surfacing project and warned a road closure will be necessary when County Road 2 (by Lake Ponet) is surfacing. He also said traffic counters will be installed to measure vehicle counts and speed on improved stretches.
