MINOT – Work repairing routes 119 and 124, washed away by a weekend storm, will cost the state between $600,000 and $900,000, officials said Thursday.

Bills are still coming for repairs to the roads, damaged when a localized thunderstorm dumped 5 inches of water in less than two hours Saturday. A fleet of 28 state and five commercial dump trucks along with excavators, rollers and other road-building equipment responded over the weekend to clean up the damage.

“Because it was a mix of crews, of state and private contractors, it will be a while before we get a final cost,” Department of Transportation spokesman Mark Latti said.

Both roads are open to local traffic. Route 124, south of the West Minot intersection with Route 119, reopened to all traffic Sunday. Route 119 opened to local traffic only, but will remain closed to through-traffic between West Minot and Bradbury Hill road for weeks.

“We need to replace and entire box culvert there, and that will take time,” Latti said.

Both roads were repaved in 2007 and the work included typical prep, edging and culvert work.

Crews hauled away more than 63 dump-truck loads of damaged pavement, and hauled in more than 2,374 cubic yards of road-building materials.
