Makee Drive being prepared for one-mile paving project in Summer 2019 ...

Preliminary work is well underway on the Makee Drive paving project just north of Waukon, with grading, widening of the roadway shoulders and other preparation work continuing yet this year and the paving of the roadway scheduled for completion during Summer 2019. Allamakee County Engineer Brian Ridenour indicated that the preliminary work being done now will allow for multiple freeze/thaw cycles throughout the winter and spring months to accommodate better settling of the roadway foundation prior to paving. The project involves the paving of a one-mile section of the roadway from its intersection with State Highway 9 east to its intersection with Four Corners Road. Standard photo by Joe Moses.
