Kay County commissioners report extensive road and bridge damage after heavy rains
Summary
Commissioners said parts of District 3 logged as much as 19 inches of rain in the past 30 days, prompting road closures, high-water signage, paused rock hauling until July 1, and a decision to solicit bids for Bridge No. 49 over Duck Creek (CBRI bridge).
County commissioners described widespread damage to roads, bridges, and culverts following heavy rainfall and outlined immediate repair steps. Commissioner Jeff Kreger reported portions of District 3 received as much as 19 inches of rain over the past 30 days, leading crews to place road-closure and high-water signs and to blade damaged roadways when possible. Commissioner Jason Shanks said district crews had been clearing debris and that rock hauling operations would not resume until July 1.
To address specific infrastructure needs, the board voted to solicit bids for labor and materials for work on Bridge No. 49 over Duck Creek in District 2, which Commissioner Shanks identified as a CBRI bridge. The board also authorized District 2 to participate in an online auction to bid on a Case 1150M LT dozer to support district operations.
