Smith County commissioners discuss multiple rural road and bridge projects
Summary
Commissioners and road staff discussed potential work on 40 Rd, N Rd, Q Rd, 280 Rd, DD Rd, C Rd, and J Rd, including a fence relocation for 40 Rd and an electric fence encroachment on DD Rd; no final contracts were authorized at the meeting.
Commissioners and road staff reviewed plans and on‑site needs for a series of rural road and bridge projects across Smith County. Commissioner Jim Gwennap raised potential work on 40 Rd between P Rd and Q Rd and Blade Foreman Gary Baetz said fencing will need to be moved before work begins. Baetz also reported an electric fence located at the edge of the rock road north of Hwy 36 on DD Rd, and Gwennap said he would contact the landowner to move the fence.
The board discussed alignment choices for N Rd (the all‑weather road will go east on 110 Rd, Gwennap reported) and routing for Q Rd between 190 Rd and 210 Rd. Chair Kurt Ifland asked Baetz to meet with landowners about 280 Rd and L Rd. The minutes record discussion of C Rd between Hwy 9 and 310 Rd and of 100 Rd between K Rd and Hwy 8; the J Rd bridge was also noted but no formal action or contract was recorded.
