Supervisors review road projects, rumble strips and new seeding equipment
Summary
The board heard updates on road overlay work, required rumble strips tied to safety funding, bridge crew progress and testing of a new hydroseeder; supervisors discussed contractor recommendations and timing for permanent markings.
County secondary roads staff reported progress on ongoing projects, including a recent overlay, temporary centerline markings and required rumble strips tied to the project's safety funding.
A staff member noted, "That's part of our safety funding," explaining that rumble strips were a condition of how the road project was funded. Supervisors also discussed the bridge crew finishing a three‑span bridge and the county’s trial of a new hydroseeder; staff said permanent edge and center lines will be placed after the pavement and shoulders settle and contractors recommend extra cure time. The board discussed training for heavy‑equipment operators and options to bring in outside trainers if needed.
Supervisors asked staff to monitor the contractor’s timetable and to return with updates on permanent striping and any warranty or acceptance issues.
