County highway staff reported scheduled bridge jumper removals and temporary replacements for oversized loads, hauling about 2,000 tons of free stone for a parking lot, multiple bridge inspections and repairs, and two Community Crossing Grant applications totaling more than $732,000 for over 53 miles of road.

The full story

The Decatur County Highway Department told commissioners it will remove temporary bridge jumpers Sept. 17–18 and reinstall them briefly in early October to accommodate a super-sized load, and that speed bumps will remain in place. The department also said it plans to haul roughly 2,000 tons of free 53 stone to pave a back parking lot and that Jurgensen is contracted for an upcoming asphalt project, which is pending a layout.
