Brazoria County engineer explains 2‑mile overlay program, milling and reclamation options

Mar 25, 2025

Brazoria County’s engineer described how the county’s interlocal street program works — two miles of overlay across up to four locations, coordination on milling, and a one‑mile reclamation option for roads that need deeper repair — and addressed scheduling and service‑center coverage questions from Angleton officials.

The full story

Matt Hanks, identified in the meeting as the county engineer, told the Angleton City Council that Brazoria County’s current interlocal street program generally provides two miles of overlays for cities and that the county has adjusted policy to reduce repeated mobilizations and improve project efficiency. Hanks said the county now typically asks for up to four locations (not necessarily four discrete streets) totaling two miles to avoid excessive mobilization costs.
