County imposes temporary no‑truck route on 500 S after $117,000 road conversion; truck buildout price locked
Summary
Commissioners approved a roughly 30‑day emergency no‑truck route on 500 S between Hwy 27 and Boundary Pike to protect a recent $117,000 conversion, authorized transfer/removal of a deteriorating semi‑trailer pending attorney approval, and asked staff to obtain formal paperwork to lock in a $69,000 truck buildout price.
Highway Superintendent Robert Howell told commissioners a recent road conversion on 500 S (estimated cost $117,000) needs protection from heavy truck traffic; the board approved an emergency no‑truck route for about 30 days between Hwy 27 and Boundary Pike to prevent damage while soil settles and work finishes.
Howell also requested permission to remove a deteriorated wooden semi‑trailer from the highway complex; commissioners approved transfer pending county attorney review and coordination with local scrap yards. He said the current cost to build out a newly approved truck is $69,000 and asked the county to secure formal paperwork so the county can lock in that price before costs rise; commissioners asked for formal paperwork prior to final approval.
The temporary no‑truck route and trailer transfer were approved unanimously; the truck buildout paperwork was requested to be returned for formal approval.
