By Editor | April 28, 2021 y MARK EVANS mevans@stegenherald.com Although the Lawrenceton Cutoff Road project, with its Highway Y and Roth Road (an extension of Lawrenceton Cutoff) intersection improvement has caused the county to exceed its allocated budget for prep rock, the Ste. Genevieve County Commission is not panicking. The intersection itself took some 12,000 tons of rock. “We never anticipated anything like that,” Presiding Commissioner Garry Nelson said during last Thursday’s County Commission meeting. “We’re four months into the year and we’re already over budget on prep rock.” He was quick to note, however, that “We’re not going to go broke.”
