Update on Delaware County Road and Bridge Projects

The Delaware County Secondary Roads Department is overseeing several projects in the county this spring and summer.

County Engineer Rafe Koopman says the Old Highway 20 project is going well. D22 (Old 20) closed earlier this spring from the Manchester city limits to the Buchanan County line, with Delaware County Secondary Roads doing a Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) overlay on that stretch of road. Crews are on schedule and should finish mainline paving this month, with the project expected to be completed by the end of June.

Work on the bridge deck on W-69 has wrapped up. Koopman says the contractors did a great job. There is a small dip in the road as drivers approach the bridge that needs repair and they’ll get that done when time allows.

County crews are prepping for the bridge deck replacement project on the south end of X-21. They plan to start work after Memorial Day. 

And the bridge replacement project on the north end of X-21 is scheduled to start in August.
