Not many county roads are newly paved in Iowa nowadays, as counties try to save money any way they can. However, one segment in Allamakee County received just that treatment last year.
County Road A26, about six miles from the Minnesota border, was paved between IA 76 and the already-paved portion in Winneshiek County. The board of supervisors’ minutes from a year ago (PDF) mention closing the road, Bear Creek Drive, for paving.
The road appears on the Iowa state map (although still marked as gravel in the new 2014 version). It’s also “signed” on the county PDF map. Something notable about this road is that it is the way to Camp Tahigwa, about three miles west of IA 76.
