Wabaunsee County reports culvert work and guardrail damage after bridge accident
Summary
Road & Bridge Supervisor Josh Hinch told commissioners crews are completing culvert replacements and will begin asphalt patching countywide; a vehicle accident on Clapboard Road damaged 102 feet of guardrail and engineers are evaluating replacement options.
Road & Bridge Supervisor Josh Hinch reported to the Wabaunsee County Commission on Aug. 3 that crews are finishing a crossroad culvert replacement on Warren Road and will soon begin a countywide asphalt patching program.
Hinch said crews will then move to work on a low-water crossing west of Alma and continue with culvert replacements and bridge repairs. He also reported a recent vehicle accident on a bridge on Clapboard Road that damaged a guardrail: "102 feet of guardrail was damaged," Hinch said. County engineers are working on replacement options.
Hinch told commissioners that Straight Line Striping is planned to be on site at the end of August to paint Maple Hill Road; Mission Valley Road had not been scheduled yet. The update included routine roadside mowing and ongoing coordination with landowners on related work.
The report focused on near-term maintenance sequencing rather than funding details; commissioners did not take a separate vote on project authorizations during the meeting. The commission is scheduled to meet next on Aug. 10, 2026.
