French Lake Access Road in Faribault to Receive Upgrade
Dennis Luebbe, Rice County Highway Engineer told the Board of Commissioners at their meeting Tuesday Wells Township recently received a state grant.
The grant came from the state park road account. Luebbe says, "To upgrade the intersection at 175th Street West and 177th Street West. The access down to the French Lake public boat launch. The township received $342,000 to improve that road under the auspices of that program."
There were three bids submitted for the project with the low bid from Crane Creek Asphalt of Faribault for $285,447.28.
Luebbe added, "There is no net impact to the county for this project. We will recoop our costs and the grant will pay for the construction."
