Marshall County Highway Department to Begin Reclaiming Roads

Road work season in Marshall County is about ready to hit high gear.

Highway Superintendent Jason Peters said crews are planning to start the reclaiming process of a few county roads in the next few weeks.  The reclaiming process involves reverting a road to a gravel status with a new double chip seal surface.  Surfacing won’t begin until mid-June. 

Seven roads will be reclaimed this spring.  They include 1C from Union to Thorn, Thorn from County Line to State Road 6, 4B from Plymouth-LaPorte to Underwood, 5th from Plymouth-LaPorte to Union, Pine from U.S. 6 to 3rd, Pine north of 13th Road, and 15B from Fir to Elm. 

Peters asks motorists to avoid construction areas as much as possible.  Road closed signs will be posted.
