Commissioners flag multiple rural washouts, order priority repairs before harvest
Summary
Smith County Commissioners identified washouts and water holes on 220 Rd, 240 Rd, Q Rd and N Rd and directed roadwork to prioritize harvest access; a blade-men meeting was scheduled for Oct. 6 to coordinate crews.
Commissioner Kurt Ifland told the board there is "a hole developing at the side of the bridge" on 220 Rd between K Rd and L Rd and reported washouts on 240 Rd at O Rd that he described as dangerous. Commissioners discussed several other water holes on Q Rd (between 50 Rd and 60 Rd) and N Rd (between 110 Rd and 120 Rd) and agreed to prioritize repairs to ensure harvest traffic can use the county roads.
Assistant Road Supervisor Travis Story told the commissioners that "all other projects are on hold until roadways are worked for harvest," and asked for direction on scheduling and crew priorities. The board scheduled a meeting with blade men for Monday, Oct. 6, 2025, at 7:00 a.m. to coordinate the harvest-season work plan and crew assignments.
