CSAH 7/8 Intersection Update Washington County Project Manager Becky Haydon provided an update regarding CSAH 7/8 intersection project. Becky explained the project was in Washington County's five-year CIP for 2017 but with the partnership of the City,the project is able to be done this year. She explained how the project would be built and their plan to completely close CSAH 8,partially due to the need to relocate utilities.
