Roads to be Gravelling on Imperial Highway Project
The board of supervisors asks the state Highway Commission to approve graveling 36 miles of primary roads from Armstrong to Buffalo Center and east of Gerled to Elmore funded by federal and state funds. If approved, Bancroft to Des Moines and Spirit Lake areas gain gravel or paved surfaces, reducing long term maintenance costs amid a low cost seasonal bidding environment. A separate Algona to Whittemore gravel project was also moved for commission consideration with limited encouragement.
