Project Updates and Field Activities
The Highway 8 Project continues to progress. Chisago County has been successful in identifying nearly half the funding needed to construct the project and continues to seek additional funding sources. Preliminary roadway plans that were presented at the last (virtual) open house are currently in the review process, and the environmental documentation is being developed. To better inform both of these processes, field work will need to be conducted as follows:
2021 Planned Field Activities
Soil borings will be collected within the available Right-of-Way beginning October 11, 2021 and should take about 8 to 10 days. You may see drilling rigs alongside the roadway.
2022 Planned Field Activities
Additional soil borings, supplemental wetland delineations, and contamination investigations will be completed on private property. Letters will be sent out to affected properties.
