The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors say two county roads near Oakland are in such bad shape, they agreed on Monday that repairs on County Roads G42 and M16 should be moved up by three years. The Omaha World-Herald reports the request came from County Engineer John Rasmussen, who wants the 8.5-mile project done next year.

Ramussen said the two stretches of road can’t wait four more years for repairs to begin. One of the roads was used by heavy trucks during the construction of the Menard’s Distribution Center in Shelby, according to Rasmussen, who  said also that the current asphalt surface is breaking up.
