JD King, the county engineer, told the Page County Board of Supervisors that recent wet weather curtailed some planned road work and shifted crews to tree cutting, cold patching and debris removal.

King said crews expect more normal operations the following day and that the county will address a slide on K Avenue south of 170th Street by stabilizing the slope and replacing pipe. He also said equipment and materials are being staged for an upcoming bridge repair at 190th Street and Snake Creek; most work will be completed under traffic but short, final rain closures are possible.

The engineer said some gravel and rock requests are pending and that contractors will be scheduled once conditions warrant larger pavement repairs. King and staff noted J 52 (a paved road discussed at the meeting) has recurring pavement failures in stretches previously patched; the county patched several sections and submitted a reimbursement request to the developer, and additional repairs will be done when it is economical to bring crews and equipment to the longer segments.

King also reviewed routine equipment and shop items: crews performed cold patching and brush pile handling, returned a unit to service this week, and will close out paperwork for a recent bridge inspection. He said the service bureau and neighboring counties have been invited to view some county engineering features and that pavement marking and surface treatments (including a bulb seal cover on J 20) remain under evaluation.

Board members pressed for faster response on paved-road repairs in higher-traffic areas and for clearer communication when developer activity affects county routes. King said the county has been coordinating with the developer’s liaison and will continue to request blading and rock for gravel segments. He acknowledged an ‘‘economy of scale’’ decision: the county will not bring a large contractor in for only a few small patches but will schedule larger repairs when multiple segments warrant mobilization.

The exchange made clear that short-term mitigation (patching, blading, placing rock) is happening, and that larger pavement work will be scheduled when it is cost-effective and when the county engineer deems segments have deteriorated sufficiently to justify contractor mobilization.
