New 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) culverts and inlets will be installed from Britt Road east toward Lake of the Woods. A baffle box will be installed to provide water quality treatment for runoff from the stormwater basin. An underdrain system will be constructed to collect groundwater flow in the area. A U-endwall and riprap will be installed at the pipe outfall location. The roadway will be reconstructed in generally the same historic alignment and will include base preparation, stabilization, asphalt paving, and pavement markings. The reconstructed roadway will also include shoulders and swales.
Other construction elements include mobilization, maintenance of traffic, erosion control, clearing and grubbing, regular and subsoil excavation, embankment construction, and sodding. Signing and thermoplastic pavement markings will be installed along the roadway corridor.
