  • November 2023 Emergency Gravel Road Repairs

    During the latter part of November, the Highway Department along with Northern Improvement, Circle C Enterprises and Knife River conducted an all-out effort to haul a mixture of high-grade gravel, Blended Base and Crushed Concrete on a number of gravel roadways throughout the County. An unusually long cold snap in October created a frozen layer below our gravel roadways, once the weather turned warmer in November the roadways started to thaw from the top down. Since the water could not be absorbed into the road bed (due to the frozen layer) the surface gravels became super saturated. Gravels with high Plasticity Index (PI) are prone to rutting under these conditions and made driving conditions hazardous. Fearing that this could also happen in the spring, it was decided to try and firm up as many roadways as we could (by adding high-grade gravel, Blended Base and Crushed Concrete to the roadways) before winter set in for good. (See attached map material locations) During the coming years we will continue to monitor these locations to evaluate the performance of each of the repair materials.

  • Gravel Road Conditions

    Burleigh County is experiencing hazardous road conditions across the region due to the snow event in late October and the recent freezing and thawing temperatures.  These conditions have created a situation in which the snow melt and recent moisture have saturated the gravel road beds and is causing severe rutting and dangerous driving conditions.

    County forces are working on roadways that are accessible and will be addressing repairs as soon as conditions allow.

    We advise limited travel on gravel roadways until conditions improve.  Thank you for your patience while we address these issues.

    The estimated tax statements are a result of legislation intended to explain in dollars the effect of each taxing entity's preliminary budget; and, to increase taxpayer participation in the budget process by providing the date, time, and location of each taxing district's final budget hearing.

    The direct cost of these estimated tax statements will be allocated between the taxing entities.

    If you have questions about taxes levied by any of the listed entities, please contact that entity directly.
