By raising 180 feet of roadway, the centerline <br />would be approximately six inches above the existing water elevation. <br />Since it is impossible to predict to what level the water will rise, <br />we would recommend that the road centerline be raised at least <br />eighteen inches above the existing water level. This would involve <br />rebuilding and overlaying 530 feet of roadway. <br /> <br />The estimated cost of rebuilding the road is $15,000 which includes <br />25% for overhead costs. These costs were based on performing the work <br />after the water level has receded below the road surface. <br /> <br />By raising the road centerline eighteen inches, we do not guarantee <br />that the road would not be subject to future flooding. The permanent <br />solution to alleviate the flooding in the area, is to provide a <br />drainage outlet to the Mississippi River. <br /> <br />We would be happy to discuss this project at your convenience and <br />answer any questions you might have. <br /> <br />Yours truly, <br /> <br />HAKANSON ANDERSON ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> <br />Peter R.
