This summer Crow Wing County will be making some
improvements to County Road 11 in Breezy Point.
The improvements will be made between the intersection with Co. Rd. 4
and the junction with County Road 3. The
improvements will be bid on March 8 and construction will start
sometime after the 1st of June.
The improvements that will be made involve a mill and
overlay in the areas with curbing. In
other areas the roadway will see an overlay. Other improvements that are of
note include a right turn lane southbound at Ski Chalet Drive and northbound at
Weavers Point Road. Two bypass lanes
will also be installed; one at Buschmann Road and another at County Road
39. There are a few problem areas of the
roadway that will be reconstructed.
These areas have seen multiple asphalt patching and are likely soft
spots in the base of the road. These will be dug up and suitable aggregate will
be replaced to firm up the roadway base before repaving.
During construction, at times when portions of the roadway
are unpassable, there will be flagmen and if needed a pilot car to keep the
traffic moving as much as possible. They
anticipate a concerted 2 week construction schedule but with the right turn
lanes some of this work will be completed in pieces prior to the heavy schedule
towards completion.
