The Duck Lake Road serves as a significant farm to market and commercial freight and goods route in Central Lincoln County. It is also used by tourists who come to enjoy local community events and indirect access to public Federal and State Lands. The road serves as both a mail and school bus route as well as a main route for emergency service vehicles.

The roadway was deteriorating rapidly. The horizontal and vertical alignment met today's design standards. The sub-grade of this road was stable enough able to support current and future levels of traffic. However, the existing BST surface was aged and failing rapidly due to heavy agricultural and commercial traffic. The road had some edge cracking; longitudinal and transverse cracking; and wheel rutting as the primary deficiencies contributing to the pavement deterioration

The existing road was crack sealed, pre-leveled, and the inslopes were flattened where needed. A 0.20' HMA overlay was installed over fabric reinforced geotextile and a construction seal was placed on the overlay. Approximately 1,650 feet of guardrail was installed in the areas that didn't get slope flattening. Incidental items included pavement markings, culvert extensions, guide posts and etc.
