Completion of County Road 101
County Road 101 is scheduled to open the first week of November. This has been a two year project and will connect County Road 1 (south of Mayo High School) to Shoppes on Maine and provide for a better connection to both Highway 52 and Highway 63. It is a concrete road that will complete an East – West 10 ton connection for heavy trucks. I supported the construction of this road to relieve the maintenance cost of the old gravel road, improve safety, move traffic without congestions, and to relieve traffic on 20th Street SE.
