County begins work on County Road 18

Talk about it

The Washington County Road 18 East-West construction project got underway on July 16.

The construction project will total the amount of $4.02 million.

The project will be built in stages, with work beginning between Trading Post Trail and downtown Afton.

A one-lane roadway will be kept open during construction.

The remainder of County Road 18, from Trading Post Trail to State Highway 95, will remain open to two-way traffic during the first stage of construction.

The majority of construction should be completed by mid-November. The construction in it’s entirety is scheduled to be completed next summer.

A County Road 18 construction open house will be held for Afton residents from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 28, at the Afton City Hall. An open house announcement will be mailed to residents.
