MASON CITY – The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors met for their regular meeting Tuesday morning at the courthouse.
County Engineer Mary Kelly said that more tests are being done on a stretch of Highway B-20 in the northwest corner of the county where asphalt installed by Heartland Asphalt failed an earlier series of tests. The county is continuing to work toward a settlement with Heartland to resolve the matter. The county is withholding about $200,000 in payments to Heartland in the meantime.
Kelly also reported that another stretch of Highway B-20 that has seen its share of accidents will likely be “rehabilitated” after the county applied for traffic safety funding. A curve on B-20 will be reconstructed to make it safer. The county was awarded $400,000 toward that project. The County Engineer’s Office this morning confirmed that the work will be done on B-20 from Eagle Avenue east 2 miles to Grouse Avenue and then south for 1 mile. Kelly stated there has been at least one fatality and several accidents there in recent memory.

How can the feds dole out money they don’t have. All federal grants should stop until we are out of debt and SSI is solvent.
that whole road sub base is washed out..its more than the curve sir..that road would be nothing but patches within the next 5 years..
The county was “awarded” nothing. That is your money and my money being doled out and wasted.
Nearly 1/2 million dollars cause morons and drunks won’t slow down on a curve.
