Trout Valley Roads
2025 Roads Project Update:
2025 will mark another roads project for the Trout Valley Association. In 2025 the budget for road work is $280,000, which is lower than in past years as a result of the investment made in the new barn entrance.
During this years roads project, we are missing out on involvement from the Village of Trout Valley. The Village has been able to contribute significantly in past years as the community has invested significant resources into repairing storm water systems beneath Trout Valley road. Due to these excessive investments the Village does not have the funds available to participate in this years roads project.
As a result, the 2025 Roads Budget will break down as follows:
There are several areas in Trout Valley that are in desperate need of resurfacing, however we consider the following areas the worst:
Brookbridge is the last stretch of road that has a drainage pipe running beneath it, and in our investigation of the pipe early this year we discovered damage in the pipe. This damage does not appear to be in imminent danger of collapse, however running the road equipment over the top of this pipe could cause the pipe to fail. The roads committee recommendation is to replace this pipe and complete Brookbridge with the 2027 roads project.
HR Green, our engineering firm, estimated the costs of Little Cahill to be $113,000 which will leave us with approximately $125,000 to complete additional roadwork.
With the great new entrance to the barn in place, the roads committee feels it is only logical to complete the barn area by re-paving this area around the barn. This includes Country Commons between Turkey Run and Stonegate, the access road behind the maintenance shed, and the parking area around the barn. This will allow easier access to the new barn entrance and a paved access to the ADA ramp.
The red colors in the image below are the tentative 2025 plan, the green colors are roads that have been completed with full depth reclamation.
Project Schedule: The project is scheduled to begin mid-September and will run through mid-October as Geske completes work for both Cary and Trout Valley.

- $17,000 - Holdback for overage
- $238,000 - Road Surfacing

Background
Historically, Trout Valley roads have been resurfaced using a method that removed a small top layer of the asphalt and replaced that small top layer. This usually meant that the roads deteriorated fairly quickly and required re-paving every 10-12 years. Beginning in 2016 the Association began the process of full depth reclamation on the Trout Valley Roads. This process provides a more stable base for the roads, allowing them to last for 25+ years before needing any resurfacing.
Trout Valley has roughly 5.7 miles of roads, all of which are in varied state of disrepair and will require attention in the coming years. Approximately 2 miles have undergone the full depth reclamation process, and the remaining roads will cost roughly $1.25M to complete.
In the table below you can see each road, or road section, and the details we have about the road.

As road projects are planned this page will be used to communicate those project plans.

- The second map shows which roads are owned by the Trout Valley Association, and which roads are owned by the Village of Trout Valley.
- The third map shows the current grade of each road based on the road condition.
