Highway superintendent reports mowing, chip-and-seal plans and Bridge 16 replacement timeline
Summary
Hwy Superintendent Dusty Hunt told commissioners crews are catching up on mowing, are checking bus turnarounds, preparing a September blacktop list for CCMG, expect to start chip-and-seal work soon, and said Bridge 16 is scheduled for replacement in '28 and will require engineering.
Dusty Hunt, Switzerland County highway superintendent, updated the commissioners on routine and near-term road work during the Aug. 3 meeting.
Hunt said crews "have been catching up on mowing," are checking bus turnarounds before school starts and have begun assembling a blacktop list for September work under the county’s CCMG program; he said officials "should know within a week or so" about that schedule. Hunt reported out-patching continues and that chip-and-seal work should start "this week or next." He also said Bridge 16 is due for replacement "in '28," noting engineering work will need to begin soon.
Hunt added that 200 tons of salt are expected to be delivered and that two long arms were out of service but one was returned to the road that morning. The update did not include firm project dates or funding sources for Bridge 16 engineering and replacement; the transcript records only the superintendent’s operational status report.
