Existing Road was a seasonal very narrow BST surfaced farm to market road that was converted from gravel to BST some many years ago. The existing road is no longer able to safely or structurally accommodate the current heavy and wide farm equipment and trucks. There have been many complaints from the public.
The existing road is a very narrow 19.5' BST surfaced road with poor pavement condition and significant safety issues related to steep roadside slopes, fixed object and other roadside hazards all of which need to be upgraded to current standards to accommodate the larger and heavier traffic using the road.
The existing roadway was reconstructed and widened to a 28-foot-wide all-weather road capable of accommodating the much larger farming equipment. Also, major safety improvement were constructed/implemented such as slope flattening, guardrail, striping, delineation and hazard elimination and significant improvement to roadway drainage was completed including the upgrade to a existing livestock/cattle pass. The project has had nothing but good comments and feedback from the public.
