Resolution 26-18 clears way for multiple culvert and bridge engineering projects
Summary
Highway staff outlined petitions under Resolution 26-18 to seek engineering and repairs on multiple culverts and small bridges across LaSalle County townships; the board approved moving the requests forward to secure eligibility for TBP funds or engineering work.
Staff summarized Resolution 26-18, which consolidates several petitions and engineering requests for culvert and small-bridge work across townships including Deer Park, Eaton, Fall River, Farm Ridge, Grand Rapids, Groveland and Miller. Staff described two adjacent culverts serving Starrock Campground and recommended combining them into a single larger culvert to make the work eligible for TBP funding.
For Eaton Township, staff described repeated cracking in precast concrete culverts near I‑39 detour routes and recommended placing concrete slabs over the culverts to extend life rather than full replacement; staff estimated full culvert replacements could be on the order of tens of thousands per location. Other items included a Phase 1 engineering report for a small bridge in Fall River Township (estimated at $85,000), a culvert in Farm Ridge ($86,400) and timber-pile repairs on East 21st Road in Grand Rapids.
The chair called for a vote on Resolution 26-18 and the board approved it. Staff said the resolution authorizes pursuing engineering work and funding eligibility steps for the listed projects.
