Riley County will pay more for gravel and road salt next year, increasing costs for road maintenance and winter operations, public works director John Ellermann told county commissioners Monday.
Gravel prices will increase about 10%, from $16.60 to $18.31 per ton. Road salt prices also have climbed, rising from 49 cents to 57 cents per unit delivered.
The county purchased additional gravel last week to build stockpiles before the higher prices take effect.
