(KNZA)--A portion of a Brown County road southeast of Robinson will be closed beginning Monday due to a streambank stabilization project.
County officials say 205th Road will be closed between Sumac and Timber Roads until further notice for the repair of about 340 to 400 feet of stream bank along the Wolf River.
The stream bank suffered heavy erosion during a storm last September that brought heavy rainfall and flooding.
Aller’s LLC of Hiawatha was awarded the contract for the more than $200,000 project.
Funding through the Natural Resources Conservation Services Emergency Watershed Protection Program will pay for 75 percent of the project cost, with the county responsible for the remaining 25 percent.
