What is the Cass County Gull River Crossing Project?

Cass County’s Gull River Crossing Project will create a roadway and trail connection from County Highway 70 across Gull River to County Road 105. This project may also include spot safety and drainage improvements to the county line and re-align the connection with Scenic Drive. The project will also review the intersections within the corridor to determine appropriate intersection controls.
