Seward County commissioners accepted the 2024 Road and Bridge engineering report after a brief presentation by county engineer Mark Johnson.
"We've had good feedback from the citizens," Johnson said, describing work done on Road P and recent patrol support for crew safety. He reported the department completed 37 miles of asphalt work, maintained 446 miles of gravel roads and identified about 100 miles of dirt roads; he listed total construction costs for 2024 as $2,257,676.98 and a separate figure of $453,710.26 for a line item noted in the packet.
Why it matters: The report documents the county's roadwork volumes and costs for 2024 and confirms road-maintenance priorities and staffing needs going into the next budget cycle.
Johnson said dirt roads are spread through the county and that citizens have given positive feedback on recent paving work. He also said sheriff's-department patrol assistance improved safety at active work sites.
Motion and action: Commissioner Fuller moved to accept the county engineer/road supervisor annual report for 2024; Commissioner Carr seconded the motion. The motion passed by voice vote.
Background and next steps: The commission discussed submitting the report to the state as required. Commissioners also thanked crews and asked residents to drive carefully around active work zones.
Ending: The accepted report will be filed and transmitted as appropriate; no additional budget or policy action was taken at the meeting.
