HALL COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT ®ti Ei 2900 WEST 2ntl ST, GRAND ISLAND, NE 68803-5263 www.hallcountyne.gov PHONE: (308) 385-5126 FAX: (308) 381-6486 Steven P.Riehle,P.E. County Engineer/Highway Superintendent tir stever@hallcountyne.gov July 20, 2018 Summary of County Board Agenda Item Set bid opening date for Fall 2018 asphalt resurfacing. Background Hall County has a significant investment in paved roads with over 180 miles of asphaltic concrete paved roads. • Many of the paved roads are classified roads on the National Functional Classification system and were paved as a federal aid project. • Other roads were paved with asphalt because roads with higher traffic counts are more feasible and economical to maintain as asphalt compared to a gravel road. • Rural Hall County subdivisions are paved with asphalt. • A few county roads were paved with asphalt to provide access to public cemeteries. Higher traffic volume asphalt roads should be resurfaced every 10 to 15 years and lower traffic volume roads should be resurfaced every 15 to 20 years. Hall County has been investing around $1 million per year on asphalt roads in recent years. At $100,000 per mile for a 2" resurfacing project, up to 10 miles can be resurfaced each year. It would cost $18 to $20 million to resurface the over 180 miles of asphalt roads in Hall County. Discussion Roads to be resurfaced each year are chosen based on a number of factors including age, condition, traffic counts, proximity to other resurfacing projects, etc. There are plenty of roads that need resurfaced in Hall County and up to 10 miles can be resurfaced in the upcoming fiscal year. The roads that are proposed to be resurfaced in fall 2018 include (6.6 miles): • One-R Road east of NE-Highway 11 as a joint project with the Village of Cairo through an interlocal agreement that was approved in 2016. (2 miles) • Hillside Drive in Cairo under the above interlocal agreement. (1/2 mile) • Holling Road west of the Alda Link L40C. (0.1 mile) • Wood River Road west of NE Highway 11. (4 miles)
