County engineer reports progress on G28 repairs and Highway 61 design; DOT public meeting expected
Summary
Roads staff reported concrete removal and preparatory work on G28, upcoming crack-and-seat and asphalt work, concerns about drainage near upcoming Highway 61 alignments, and an October DOT public information meeting to begin right-of-way purchases for the next phase.
Unidentified Speaker 4 provided a detailed roads update, reporting that contractors have begun preparatory work on G28, including removal of concrete panels to create proper tie-ins for new asphalt. A crack-and-seat contractor is scheduled to operate next week, followed by asphalt placement likely around the 16th of the month.
Speaker 4 said the Highway 61 design will require the highway to go "up and over" in one section, which raised drainage concerns for county-maintained areas; he said the county has pressed DOT to keep drainage from flowing back onto county infrastructure. DOT is expected to publish a public information meeting in October to present current design status and to begin right-of-way purchases for the next phase of work.
Maintenance notes: crews continue patching on X17, dust-control spraying north of '92 has been performed but remained challenged by dry conditions, and the county has three milling machines shared across seven districts so mowing and other maintenance follow a weekly rotation per district.
No formal vote was taken; the update was informational.
