County offices will be closed Monday, December 26, 2016, but county
snowplows are on standby and anticipate being out on Christmas Day and again
Monday morning. Crow Wing County is in an ice warning starting Sunday and
continuing into Monday. A ¼ inch or more
of ice is expected to impact the Brainerd lakes area. Roads will be hazardous and travel is not
advised.
On Tuesday county maintenance workers will continue to scrape roads
and apply material for any remaining snow or ice.
Due to the daily snowfall last week, maintenance crews were not able
to complete all of last week’s scheduled work. The work is scheduled and will
resume later in the week of December 26th.
County maintenance work crews will continue cutting and chipping trees
that fell during previous snowstorms on various county roads.
Once the storm related tree cleanup is complete county maintenance
crews will begin brush and tree removal in county road right of ways on County
Road 159, in Nokay Lake Township between County Road 8 and Nokay Hall Road and
on County Road 103, in the City of Crosslake and Ideal Township between County
Road 3 and County Road 39. Smaller brush
will be chipped at the site. Larger
trees will be cut and placed at the back of the road right of way for the
property owners.
Depending on the weather, the projects should last a few days to a few
weeks. Please be aware of the work zones, trucks/equipment and the workers when
traveling on county roads. Minor
traffic delays may occur.
