(Atlantic, Iowa) – Cass County Engineer Trent Wolken, Tuesday morning, provided his regular report on Secondary Roads Department maintenance and activities, during a meeting of the Cass County Board of Supervisors. He started-off with an update on current construction projects.

Wolken said also, two bridges were part of Tuesday’s Iowa DOT bid-letting.

The results of the bid-letting will be reported by Wolken during the Board’s next regular meeting. He reported also on an accident on 620th Street that occurred last week, and that involved a Cass County motor grader and a semi, as we had reported Monday, on KJAN.

Wolken estimated the damage to the grader at $35,000. There was also a $4,500 fee to tow the grader from the scene. No injuries were reported, and as of the latest information, no citations had been issued.
