County reports $167.7M spent on bond transportation program; multiple projects near completion
Summary
Bonded transportation and capital projects staff reported progress across dozens of projects, including Fire Station constructions, County Road resurfacing and a County Road 220 bridge scheduled to open Oct. 17; the board heard percent‑complete and paid‑out figures and discussed schedule risks.
Ed Dendor, program administrator for the bond transportation program, briefed the board on a suite of capital projects and bond‑funded public‑safety work, reporting that the program has expended $167.7 million to date. The update covered street resurfacing, drainage work, bridge construction and progress on fire station projects.
Dendor gave project‑level details: County Road 218 work on drainage and sidewalks; County Road 209 clay cutoff walls and pond lining; and Project 3B (Sand Ridge Road/County Road 209B roundabout) nearing final completion. He said several projects were either design‑complete or under construction and noted retainage and pay‑out percentages. "As of July 21, the program has expended 167.7 million," Dendor told commissioners.
County Engineer Richard Smith provided additional updates, reporting the County Road 220 bridge is "looking like a bridge" and remains on track for an Oct. 17 opening. Smith reviewed resurfacing schedules (Doctors Lake Drive striping in two to three weeks) and plans to shift teams into Fox Meadows and Tanglewood neighborhoods. The board asked follow‑ups about permit review windows and contractor coordination.
