(Spirit Lake)– The high cost of road construction materials is not only resulting in higher costs for counties and the Iowa Department of Transportation, but a local trail group is feeling the impact as well.
The Dickinson County Trails Committee recently rejected a bid for asphalt paving for a trail to be extended along County Road M-40, or old Highway 276, on the west side of Big Spirit Lake.
The board of supervisors approved a request from the committee to re-bid the project with an option for concrete, with hopes it will come in cheaper than asphalt.
