Road construction set to begin August 6 on County Route 1029

The mill-and-overlay project is scheduled to begin Tuesday, Aug. 6, weather permitting, on County Route 1029 from N750 to N600 Road. The project will consist of milling, asphalt patch work and a 2-inch asphalt overlay.

Once milling is finished on County Route 1029, milling will begin on County Route 1 from the dam at Lone Star Lake to the town of Lone Star. This roadway will also undergo milling, asphalt patch work and a 2-inch asphalt overlay.

The road construction on County Route 1029 and County Route 1 will occur nearly simultaneously and is expected to be finished by mid-September. 

The work will be completed under temporary traffic control, with flaggers and a pilot car. For safety, we kindly ask bicyclists to consider alternative routes during this period. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve county roadways.

The project is being completed through at contract with Killough Construction, of Ottawa. Douglas County Public Works is managing the project.
