Commissioners discuss ODOT bridge supplement agreements and inspection report
Summary
Woods County commissioners reviewed two Oklahoma Department of Transportation supplement modification agreements for bridge projects and discussed a bridge inspection report and related invoice during the July 15 meeting; no formal approvals were recorded on these items.
Woods County commissioners discussed two supplemental modification agreements with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) for bridge maintenance and right-of-way financing at their July 15, 2025 meeting and reviewed a bridge inspection report tied to contract LG-2449C (invoice 676171), but the transcript does not record final approval of the agreements.
The two ODOT items identified in the meeting used project numbers STPHO492011RB and CIRB-9794004RV. Commissioners and staff described general locations in the county while noting uncertainty about exact mileages and approaches. One project’s cost was cited in the discussion as $915,000.
Why it matters: the agreements govern state-funded maintenance and right-of-way work on county bridges and roads. Large bridge projects can carry multi-year design, utility, and construction obligations and may affect travel and county capital planning.
Commissioners questioned details of the project locations and scope. Commissioner 2 summarized route and mile references and asked for clarification on whether the work included bridge approaches and design tasks. A discussion of bridge inspections followed; Commissioner 2 said, "We don't really have any say so over them over 20 feet, they kind of tell them," referring to ODOT inspection requirements for bridges over 20 feet in span. Staff noted the bridge inspection contract with CED and cited an inspection count of 21 bridges in the report tied to invoice 676171.
No formal motions or votes to adopt the ODOT supplement agreements or to act on the inspection report are recorded in the transcript. Commissioners indicated these items were for review and planning steps in the county’s multi-year program.
