Project Updates:

September 13, 2023
The County is working diligently with both the contractor and consultant to complete the construction work on Mink Lake Road. While there have been some delays due to utility work and weather, the high priority objective is to have the travel conditions improved as soon as possible and road surfaced with asphalt before winter. The table below outlines the most current plan for right now. This plan is subject to changes due to weather and other construction factors. 

There have been challenging conditions during the wet weather periods and encourage use of alternative routes as much as possible. We expect significant improvements in the next number of days to the road allowing far better travel conditions on the east end and over the next 10 -14 days for the entire road.

Thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding as everyone is working hard to make a new safer Mink Lake Road as soon as possible.

SectionScheduleCommentsNext Steps
Section 1 Initial Gravel being placed for Traffic Accommodation Sept 12 Road travel to be significantly improved to Hwy 770 with no pilot truck needed. Additional gravel base to be placed during 3rd week of September with additional disruptions for a few days. Asphalt surfacing scheduled for early October.
Section 2 Initial gravel planned for Sept 15. 

Travel from RR 24, Lakecrest and Bergman Estate subdivisions (via Rge Rd 24) can access Section 2 to a significantly improved construction road surface east to Hwy 770.

Additional gravel base placement mid 3rd week of September with asphalt surfacing scheduled for early October.
Section 3 Grading work in progress Subgrade work being completed ahead of gravel placement from East to West. Initial gravel on East end planned for 3rd week of Sept. Poor travelling conditions are expected on the East end of Section 3 until initial gravel is in place. Approximately 1 week of poor driving conditions to Rge Rd 25.
Section 4 Grading work in progress

Mid week Star Lake access closure and Rge Rd 25 re-grading with poor travel conditions on Rge Rd 25 for approx.1 week.

Rge Road 25 and the Star Lake Access to be lowered by over 1 meter to provide a safer intersection. Poor travelling conditions are expected until gravel is placed approx. 1st week of October.



Traffic Advisory

Expect Delays – Expect up to 20min delays during grading operations of the Mink Lake Road reconstruction.  This is required to be able to complete work as safely and timely as possible while maintaining traffic through the construction site.

A pilot vehicle is being used to move traffic through the work zone. In addition, the grader has been running more frequently which will help address the rutting concerns.

During inclement weather it is suggested to take and account for the extra time it will take to either get through the construction site or take the alternate routes suggested below.

 

Alternate Routes from Hwy 770:

From Hwy 770, north of Twp. 524 turn West on Twp. 530 the road will turn south and turn into RR 25 which will intersect with Twp. 524A, Twp 524.

From Hwy 770, south of Twp. 524 turn West on Twp. 521 the road will intersect with RR 25, turn north to go to subdivision access points between Twp. 524 and Twp. 521.

These alternate routes will add 10 minutes to your commute, please take this into account for your daily routine. We appreciate your patience while we complete this work.
