Summary
Supervisors described localized winter hazards—shaded gravel curves and icy intersections—and said crews recently spread sand on a slick spot; they also discussed inspecting culverts and minimizing driving damage while crews work.
Worth County supervisors spent part of the meeting reviewing winter road conditions and short-term maintenance steps to reduce hazards as temperatures rise.
Speaker 1 warned that a thaw will create sloppy roads and highlighted shaded areas and certain gravel road curves as continuing trouble spots. He described a recent field response: “So they went over and spread some sand on it last week. Good. Appreciate it.”
The board discussed working in morning hours when crews and conditions are best, roughing up icy patches to reduce polish on hard ice, and limiting damage from heavy equipment by planning access routes. They also noted current culverts are functioning but asked staff to check lines thoroughly when in the field so multiple problem spots are not missed during inspections.
No policy changes or emergency declarations were made; the discussion centered on operational tactics for crews and monitoring conditions as the weather warms.
