A survey of highway culverts throughout Grand Forks County suggests over 31% are in need of repair and replacement. The analysis looked at over 2500 culverts on the county road system. Highway Engineer Nick West says the estimated cost to rehab the failing structures is around $25 million dollars.
West says only 80% of the culverts on the county road system have been inventoried to date. “The township roads make up the majority of the roads in the county. The county is responsible for the larger culverts and all the bridges on the township roads. We haven’t even started to look at those.”
