Welcome to the Benton County Highway Department.
Welcome to the Benton County Public Works/Highway Department. We've created this page to help keep the public up-to-date with the improvements taking place in Sauk Rapids on CSAH 3 / 2ND Street. We will be replacing the failing pavement surface, increasing the capacity to serve existing and future traffic demands, providing a bike path and/or sidewalk to improve the safety of pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and upgrading intersection functionality for safety and capacity. Last year's Phase 1 and Phase 2 demo portion of the project was a success. Work will continue on May 31st.
