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.
