County Road Update (4/27/22)

Please continue to use caution on all roads in Koochiching County.  Ground saturation mixed with flowing water and frost can cause washouts on roadways quickly.  Currently all roads maintained by Koochiching County are open and being monitored for changes in condition.  Please report any washouts to the Koochiching County Highway Department.  Dave Reimer 218-283-1186 or Trent Nicholson 218-283-1187.

Gravel Roads:

With the late snow falls, increased precipitation and late snow melt, we are seeing deterioration in our gravel roads.  Unfortunately, we are unable to get heavy equipment, specifically motor graders, down these roads to make repairs at this time.  We will be addressing as the frost exits and the roads allow.
