(Atlantic, Iowa) – In his report Tuesday, to the Cass County Board of Supervisor’s, Cass County Engineer Trent Wolken said crews were laying contract rock in the Griswold area since last week, in anticipation of the closing this past Monday, of the Highway 92 bridge.  The rock is being used for the detour routes. He said they’ve rocked about 15-miles so far in the Griswold area.The stockpile of rock at the Lyman storage site is exhausted, and they’re working on using the G-43 stockpile.

Meanwhile work continues on Bridge 32, with the piers poured last week. The first abutment was expected to be poured soon.

The Rolling Hills Wind Farm Power project is beginning to wrap-up. Wolken said he met with their construction representatives last week.

With regard to the closing of Highway 92 and the detour route, Board of Supervisor’s Chair Steve Baier said traffic by his rural house is up considerably, because people are not following the posted detour route.

He said the DOT didn’t do a very good job of putting signage up for the detour route. Wolken said he would look into the problem. The marked detour route is supposed to use U.S. 71, Cass County Road G-43, Cass County Road M-56, and Iowa 48.
