PROJECT NUMBER: ND FTFW WHHI 10(5)

PROJECT NAME: WHITE HORSE HILL NGP AUTO TOUR ROUTE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 

The project is located in the White Horse Hill National Game Preserve (formerly Sully’s Hill NGP) in central North Dakota approximately 10 miles south of the city of Devils Lake, ND.

SCOPE OF THE WORK: 

The purpose of this project is to improve overall access, safety, and experience for refuge visitors. The project consists of road improvements to rehab/resurface the two lane portion (1.5 mi.) of the asphalt paved Auto Tour Route (Rte #010) along with the White Horse Hill Overlook Loop (Rte #011) and the Prairie Dog Town Access Road (Rte #101) to prevent the roads from further decline. The Auto Tour Route is crumbling along the edges of the roadway and developing cracks in many locations that span the entire width of the road. The overlook loop portion of the route has been previously chip sealed.

Route 010AZ Auto Tour Route and Route 010BZ White Horse Hill Overlook Loop are pavement preservation efforts that will not change the horizontal or vertical alignments. Route 101 Prairie Dog Town Access Road is a 3R effort. The typical sections for this project will match existing roadway widths. Route 010AZ and 010BZ will include two new round grate cattle guards each (total of 4). New centerline striping for Route 010AZ will be included.
