Bernard Road closed for overlay; multiple county bridge pours underway
Summary
Roads staff reported Bernard Road overlay work has started (planned closure through early August), contractors are pouring abutments on two bridges and crews will drill cores on Caves Road to plan FY28 rehabilitation.
Jackson County roads staff told the board Bernard Road overlay work began, the road is closed and crews expect the closure to last into early August unless phasing allows earlier reopening. Staff described work at multiple locations: pouring the north abutment at Channelorth Bridge, placement of an abutment on the 458th Avenue bridge, and stripping forms on the Z‑15 bridge for subcontractor paving work.
Staff also said cores will be drilled on Caves Road to determine asphalt thickness and to select a rehabilitation method for FY28. Highway maintenance crews continue storm cleanup, repairing culverts and washouts from last week's heavy rains.
The board acknowledged the schedule and thanked crews for the quick response to storm damage. Staff said they will provide updates to the public as phases are scheduled and detours established.
