        313.28  TEMPORARY PRIMARY ROAD DETOURS.
         When the department, for the purpose of establishing, constructing
      or maintaining any primary road, determines that any secondary road
      or portion thereof is necessary for a detour or haul road, the
      department, after consultation with the county board of supervisors
      having jurisdiction of the route, shall by order temporarily
      designate the secondary road or portion thereof as a temporary
      primary road detour or as a temporary primary road haul road, and the
      department shall maintain the same as a primary road until it shall
      revoke the temporary designation order.  Prior to use of a secondary
      road as a primary haul road or detour, the department shall designate
      a representative to inspect the secondary road with the county
      engineer to determine and note the condition of the road.
         Prior to revoking the designation, the department shall:
         1.  Restore the secondary road or portion thereof to as good
      condition as it was prior to its designation as a temporary primary
      road, or
         2.  Determine such amount as will adequately compensate the county
      exercising exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction over the secondary
      road or portion thereof for excessive traffic upon the secondary road
      or portion thereof during the period of its designation as a
      temporary primary road.  The department shall certify the amount
      determined to the director of the department of administrative
      services.  The director of the department of administrative services
      shall credit the amount to the county.
         3.  If on examination of the route, it is determined that the road
      can be restored to its original condition only by reconstruction, the
      department shall cause plans to be drawn, award the necessary
      contracts for work and proceed to reconstruct and make payments for
      in the same manner as is prescribed for primary construction
      projects.
