County board approves bridge replacement priorities to seek state bond funds
Summary
Pine County approved a resolution prioritizing two bridge projects — the Main Street (CSAH 61) Snake River Bridge and a culvert on County Road 144 — to pursue Minnesota state bridge bond funding; discussion included construction staging, DNR stream work windows and potential stream-waiver negotiation.
The county’s highway department presented a bridge replacement priority resolution so Pine County can apply for Minnesota state bridge bond funding for two identified projects: Main Street (CSAH 61) Snake River Bridge (currently in design) and a County Road 144 culvert near Carrick. The board moved and seconded the resolution and discussed staging options to keep lanes open, construction timing and the limits imposed by DNR fish-spawning seasonal restrictions.
Officials said the Pine City bridge is a major project that could take about a year if staged to keep traffic moving; a culvert replacement on CR 144 can typically be completed in weeks when water levels are low. Staff noted they would seek stream-waiver opportunities with the DNR to accelerate work if possible.
