Road & Bridge superintendent says crews will return to Attwood rock pit; grading paused until moisture increases
Summary
Road & Bridge General Superintendent Jay Johanek told the Jewell County Commissioners on April 13 that crews will move back to the Attwood rock pit soon but the department is pausing extensive rocking until there is more moisture to avoid damage to rock roads.
Jay Johanek, General Superintendent for Jewell County Road & Bridge, told the county commissioners on April 13 that crews will be moving back to the Attwood rock pit soon and that some grading was done over the previous weekend.
Johanek said the department has "backed off on rocking for a little bit with how dry it had been," adding, "we need more moisture before touching rock roads much more." He said a couple of crew members went out on Sunday to grade roads but emphasized that wet conditions are needed for larger rock operations.
Commissioners noted the staffing and operational update and accepted the report as part of the Road & Bridge briefing. The department did not announce a firm timetable for full rock operations; Johanek's comments indicated the timing will depend on weather and moisture conditions.
