Benton County's "3 Up the Hill" road construction project is underway and starting tomorrow (Thursday), some side streets in Sauk Rapids will be intermittently closed.
The wait for state bonding money could delay a Sauk Rapids road construction project yet again. Benton County officials have submitted a bonding request to the Governor's Office for about $1,500,000 to help pay for the "3 Up the Hill" project. But, County Engineer Chris Byrd says they must wait to see if their request is approved in a bonding bill before they can start the work.
A major road construction project in Sauk Rapids has taken an important step forward. The Benton County Board of Commissioners has approved bids to buy and move homes along Benton County Road 3.
Work is starting on a road construction project on Benton County Road 3 which will create a new interchange at Highway 10 and also include four roundabouts.
A Benton County road project who's cost estimate has tripled since it was proposed five years ago is prompting county officials to go after state bonding money.
