Dennis Price, Elko County Road Superintendent, gave a detailed status update on county road work. He said the county completed its mag program and "we're right at a 150 miles of road that we treat now." Price noted rising costs: "I think we're paying $138 a ton now" for mag material, up from under $100 a few years ago.
Price outlined scheduled work: a preconstruction meeting on July 31 for upcoming chip/seal and slurry projects; planned work on Sundance Drive (county portion), the paved portion of Last Chance Road, South Fork Road (type 2), Lucky Nugget Road (majority, stopping where new paving exists), Lower Lee Road (type 2), and Palace Parkway in the Spring Creek Association area (type 3 slurry). He also reported that the Lucky Nugget paving project (about 1.78 miles) is substantially complete with striping done and only punch-list items remaining. No formal action was requested on the county updates.
