County engineer reports 307 miles of road, 236 bridges and significant in-house savings
Summary
Clark County Engineer John Burr told commissioners the office maintains about 307 miles of road and 236 bridges, reported savings from doing in-house bridge work versus bidding out projects, and provided updates on local flooding and road closures.
John Burr, Clark County Engineer, summarized the office's 2025 work and near-term plans at the May 27 commission meeting, saying the office "maintains approximately 307 miles of road and 236 bridges in Clark County." He described routine ditch maintenance and snow removal, listed bridges replaced in 2025, and noted the Engineer's office expects to pour bridge beams next year for some projects.
Burr told commissioners his office performs much of its work in-house under state stipulations and compared costs between in-house projects and those bid externally, saying the savings "was significant." He also updated the board on Liberty Place flooding (no calls over the weekend) and said there was no recent update on Tillie Lane other than weekend closures on the west side of the county.
