Highway supervisor reports INDOT projects, a 21‑day detour and $41,000 truck repair
Summary
Highway Supervisor Clint Maddox told commissioners INDOT requested a patching plan for 775 W, will replace piping on 600 N, plans a 21‑day detour on 600 W, and reported Kenworth will repair a 2016 truck for $41,000 and allow payment next year.
Clint Maddox, Putnam County Highway Supervisor, gave the board an operational update on Oct. 21: INDOT asked the county to prepare a patching plan for 775 W; INDOT will replace piping on 600 N; 600 W will serve as a detour route for an estimated 21 days; and a 2016 county truck requires a $41,000 motor repair.
Maddox said Kenworth is willing to perform the repair and defer payment until next year because funds were not included in the 2024 budget. Commissioners Woodall, Helmer and Berry indicated support for proceeding with the repair arrangement. Maddox also said gravel roads are in good condition heading into winter.
Next steps include finalizing the INDOT patching plan and scheduling the truck repair under the deferred‑payment arrangement; no timeline beyond the 21‑day detour estimate was recorded in the minutes.
