Gravel Road Improvement Program

Gravel hauling is complete for 2024.    The gravel is paid for with Tax Increment Finance bonds. 750 miles of county roads are targeted for improvement with up to 2000 tons of gravel per mile being added to the roads.  Selected roads either had one or more residences per mile, had a feedlot or confined animal feeding operation, had traffic in excess of 50 vehicles per day, and/or were classified as farm to market roads. Up to 2000 tons of gravel per mile will be placed on these roads to rebuild the gravel base.  Hauling will resume in late April or early May 2025.

As of this report, the county has hauled 299,000 tons of gravel applied to 412 miles of county roads.    The gravel hauled again this past year is the first round for each road.  Gravel was hauled from the Wright gravel pit and will be working on the areas in the SE part of the county.    Gravel hauled to each road this year will represent about 50-60% of the new material which will be hauled to each road within the program.     

The map below shows the roads that have received the first application of additional gravel:
