Fire Creek Road work progressing; county notes temporary K‑rail and spring patching
Summary
Staff showed photos and reported progress on Fire Creek Road: concrete forming, v‑ditch work, temporary K‑rail (Jersey rail) to be installed immediately and permanent guardrail likely in spring; asphalt patches will be completed next spring and contractor may be substantially complete pending photographic inspection.
County staff provided a field update on Fire Creek Road, describing recent concrete work, grading and drainage repairs and the schedule for guardrail and patching.
Speaker 1 described the site work and photos he had taken: crews completed concrete forms in some locations, worked on v‑ditches and compaction, and will install temporary K‑rail (Jersey rail) in the next day or two "so it'll start back up here and go all the way through the high map curve." He said permanent guardrail installation is likely delayed until spring and that asphalt patching will be completed next spring; staff asked for photographic evidence if the contractor claims substantial completion so county inspectors can verify before signing off.
Why it matters: The project affects road safety at a high‑risk curve and involves temporary protections until permanent guardrail can be installed. Staff asked for photographic proof of substantial completion when the contractor reports work finished so county inspection requirements are met.
Next steps: Staff will monitor completion, request required photo documentation for county inspection, and schedule final pavement patching and permanent guardrail installation in spring.
