Commissioners flag bridges for follow-up after weight-limit changes and undermining culvert

Smith County Commissioners · December 1, 2025

Summary

Board members asked staff to review inspection reports for bridges on 140 and 230 Roads after a reposting to 3 tons, and reported an undermining box concrete culvert on 90 Road that will require repair or monitoring.

Commissioner Kurt Ifland raised multiple bridge concerns during the Dec. 1 meeting. He said a bridge on 140 Road (between F Road and G Road) will need additional overburden but will remain posted at 4 tons; a separate bridge on 230 Road (between G Road and H Road) had been reposted to a 3-ton limit, and Road & Bridge staff were asked to check the bridge inspection report and determine the reason for the change.

Chairman Jim Gwennap also reported that a box concrete culvert on 90 Road (between V Lane and W Road) is undermining and will need work. Owen Wagner said he would review inspection materials and the structure to recommend next steps. The board did not take formal action but directed staff to examine inspection findings and report back.
