Commissioners identify specific roads needing material and urgent repairs

Smith County Commissioners · August 18, 2025

Summary

Commissioners and road staff named multiple county roads needing material or mowing, cited deep ruts on BB Rd that make it "almost impassable," and flagged a wood culvert and future asphalt milling needs on several segments.

During the regular meeting the commissioners and Road Supervisor Mitch Fritz reviewed a list of priority repairs and maintenance across the county. Commissioner Brady Peterson said there "are some deep ruts that make the road almost impassable," referring to BB Rd between 100 Rd and 120 Rd; the board discussed adding material to 220 Rd between AA Rd and Hwy 181 and future asphalt millings for P Rd between 50 Rd and 100 Rd.

Other roads discussed included 160 Rd between Hwy 8 and I Rd, A Rd and 180 Rd (patching activity noted), a wood culvert on 50 Rd between AA Rd and BB Rd, and multiple sections (40 Rd, 50 Rd, 10 Rd) where mowing, blading or additional material is needed. Fritz reported crews patched A Rd the prior Friday and that a semi repair was completed and the vehicle would return to operation that week.

The commissioners did not take a formal vote to authorize a specific materials purchase in the transcript; they directed staff to continue repairs and to pursue asphalt details near Red Cloud.
