3 up the hill

Benton County has a handful of construction projects scheduled for 2015. The projects include re-surfacing County Roads 51 and 66 east of Foley, County Road 58 east of Sauk Rapids and North Benton Drive from the Bridge of Hope to Highway 10.

Benton County will move forward with a major road construction project despite not having all of the funding in place.

Disappointing news for officials in Benton County and the city of Sauk Rapids after word a major road project was left out of the bonding bill.

Transportation officials will pitch Benton County Road 3 project to senate bonding committee officials.
