Alder Lake Road Culvert and Bridge Project
04/12/2011 - As soon as the road limits come off Alder Lake road will be closed again. This is anticipated to happen on April 25th. The contractor will come back and remove the concrete arches, put a 12" cap on the footings, re-set the arches and finish the project. The additional foot of clearance will make it much easier for boats to go through the culvert between Wild Rice Lake and the Trout River channel. Any questions can be directed to John Hanson at 715-543-8413.
