Staff details road stabilization work, bridge removals and roundabout progress
Summary
Highway staff described work to stabilize washed-out and settling road segments (excavation, tile, fabric, stone), removal of a bridge on 160th/Pearl Road replaced temporarily with large tubes, and recent pouring of bridge guardrail ahead of further grading and ditching.
Staff member (S3) gave a technical update on road and bridge work, describing how crews excavated failing roadbeds, installed tile and fabric and placed aggregate to stabilize washed-out sections. S3 said crews hauled material to Dutch Lake Road and used rock and grading to shore up shoulders, noting that the approach was "expensive" and that additional work (another 800 feet) may be needed next year.
S3 also described bridge work on 160th/Pearl Road: crews removed a bridge and placed three large tubes as a temporary crossing, guardrail work was poured on a nearby bridge, and field crews are performing ditching and grading at multiple locations. "We put down tile, then we put down fabric, and then we put down 4 to 6 inches of the cattle," S3 said while describing the layered approach used in one repair (verbatim per transcript). The board asked staff to continue monitoring drainage and to consider signage in spots prone to splash and standing water.
