State DOT beginning to study repaving Highway 52

U.S. Highway 52 between Calmar and the Allamakee County line might be getting repaved in the future.

Winneshiek County Engineer Lee Bjerke says state transportation officials want to repave the highway--but the state legislature hasn't approved funding for the project yet.

If the highway is repaved, Winneshiek County would pay $76,000 to the state for work on 15 intersections that involve a county road and Highway 52.
