The Township Board of Trustees reviewed the Township five year road
plan at its last Board meeting. The plan is updated each year based
on road needs and budgetary considerations.
In 2010 the Township completed work on Bluffview Road. The 2,660
foot section of road was blacktopped at accost of 85,750. Half of
that amount $42,875 will be paid by the County and the other $42,875
will be paid for by the Township.
Scheduled for 2011 Nylund Road from Junet to Vanderhagen will be
pulverized and blacktopped. The total cost to the County and the
Township is estimated to be $158,455.
The plan for 2012 is to blacktop 1/3 mile of Welch Creek Rd, and to
chip seal the road to Copper Peak. The project will depend on
whether or not a grant application is successful. Hannu Road is
another question mark for 2012. The 1.5 mile project is planned for
2012 and for 2013 That project that is estimated to cost over
$200,000 will be dependent on whether or not Ruotsala Construction
moves its heavy equipment to another location.
2014 and 2015 plans are to pulverize and blacktop portions of
Vanderhagen and Section 12 roads.
The Township has completed a Paser Road Rating Survey on the
Township roads and the five year plan was developed based on that
survey. |
