Commissioners discuss multiple road and bridge needs, including a 3‑ton posting on 230 Rd
Summary
Smith County commissioners reviewed bridge postings, culvert needs and gravel procurement Nov. 24; they noted a bridge on 230 Rd had been reposted to a 3‑ton limit and agreed to pursue additional tubes and contact Werner Aggregates for gravel.
Commissioners and road staff reviewed a series of road and bridge issues during the Nov. 24 regular session. Commissioner Kurt Ifland said a bridge on 230 Rd between G Rd and H Rd "has been reposted to 3 tons," and asked whether that posting was temporary or permanent; staff said the inspection report must be reviewed. Wagner and Baetz confirmed portions of Q Rd and other stretches need additional culvert tubes and agreed three tubes are required in at least one location.
Gwennap said he would contact Werner Aggregates about obtaining gravel and Wagner reported crews will pick up repaired equipment (dozer and JCB backhoe) this week. The board also discussed potholes on Q Rd between 110 Rd and 120 Rd and a range of other county road segments that will be scheduled for material or inspection.
The minutes record these items as discussion points for staff follow‑up rather than as formal motions; the board approved driveway work for private landowners in response to a request from Brent and Brian Peterson but did not record a formal motion on that approval.
