Wood River Road will be resurfaced or Hall County will pull the contractorâs performance bond, county commissioners pledged Tuesday.
A resurfacing contract with JIL Asphalt Paving Co. of Grand Island was approved by the county in late 2018, and work was expected to be completed in late 2019.
Segments of the road, west of Wood River Rural High School and Highway 11, though, remain marred by bumps that affect travel.
âThey experienced numerous smoothness problems through October and into November on that project, trying to get that road paved and paved smooth,â County Engineer Steven Riehle said.
Hall County has done an additional 100 hours of work beyond what would be spent on a typical resurfacing project, Riehle said.
