Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash asks you to drive carefully over a recently repaired portion of County Highway U in Clay Banks. The roadway at the intersection of Shiloh Road and Rosewood Road was washed away after the area took on several inches of rain in a few hours' time span. The storm left a 25-foot-wide by 200-foot long by 12-foot deep gash that had to be filled with a custom-made 200-foot long culvert and gravel. Since crews have to allow the gravel to settle before the road can be paved, the Door County Highway Department is asking you to reduce your speed and drive cautiously over the recently repaired roadway. Ash had estimated the fix would cost approximately $200,000, though Disaster Damage Aid through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation could allow the county to receive up to 75 percent reimbursement toward the overall repair cost if their petition is accepted.
