Roads report: bridge replacement plan and guardrail needs raised; workshop to come

Somerset County Commissioners · August 6, 2026

Summary

Roads commissioner reported engineers produced a replacement plan and cost estimate for a bridge over Upper Sandy Stream and said many small bridges need guardrails; a workshop on bridges was scheduled for an upcoming meeting.

A committee member (speaker 6) reported completion of recent paving work and said county engineers produced a plan and cost estimate to replace a large bridge over the Upper Sandy Stream. He said many smaller bridges need updated guardrails and that the county will hold a workshop at the next or following meeting to discuss options and costs.

Commissioners asked whether guardrail replacement would affect roadway paving; speaker 6 said guardrails anchor to concrete bridge parts and "it definitely won't" affect the pavement. The county will send engineering reports to its growth consultant, Robert Lecaudy, for review ahead of the workshop.
