Two county road improvement projects will begin in May, once the current work to replace three bridges along County Road 6 between Beaver Creek and Hills is complete.
According to county engineer Mark Sehr, the culvert replacements are scheduled for completion by May 1, followed by two mill off and bituminous overlay projects scheduled this year.
The first overlay project is six miles of County Road 6 from Beaver Creek to Hills, which also involves a railway crossing improvement project.
The second overlay project is four miles of County Road 5 from County Road 6 to State Highway 23.
Sehr estimates it will take three weeks to complete the 10 miles of mill off and overlay.
However, start of the projects are dependent on the lifting of weight restriction limits on local roadways.
