Rock County Highway Department ready

by STAN STRICKER ( Contact ) Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2007

Rock County Public Works Director Ben Coopman is pleased most of the road work is done for the season.

Roads opening in the last week include County Highway "S" from I-90 to Cranston Road, Highway "M" at the intersection of "H" and "M" in Fulton, and Weary Road in the towns of Center, Porter, Union, and Magnolia. Coopman says the ramp at I-90 North to I-43 will be completely open by noon Wednesday. Also, the extended holiday weekend could bring some of the season's first slick driving conditions. Coopman says a chance for snow in the forecast has him ready to call out the salting and sanding crews.

He's also hopeful using a salt brine on the bridges Wednesday, will be enough to keep from calling the road crews out over the holiday.
