Road work, tube installations and bridge projects outlined; bridge repairs set to begin in May
Summary
County road staff and commissioners outlined multiple local road repairs — including tube installations, settled driveway repairs and a confirmed bridge project to start in May — and noted contractor availability and survey findings for a realigned roadway.
County road staff and commissioners reviewed a cluster of maintenance and repair needs across Smith County at the April 13 meeting. Commissioner Kurt Ifland asked road staff to install a tube on 250 Road between G Road and H Road and flagged a settled driveway tube at the intersection of I Road and 190 Road that needs fixing. Assistant Road Supervisor Owen Wagner and Road Supervisor Travis Story discussed specific road segments — including AA Road (100–110 Roads), Q Road and 50 Road — and logistics such as asking Ace Irrigation to deliver a tube directly to a site and having driveways flagged where residents want tubing placed.
Visitor Bob Emch told the board M Road between Highway 36 and 190 Road has deteriorated significantly over the past year and asked for a timeline for improvements; Story explained the county will not perform rock-road work until moisture conditions improve and said bridge work is scheduled to begin in May. Story also reported BHC completed a survey confirming 270 Road between X Road and Y Road has moved north; correcting that will require removal of fencing and work around a waterway. Staff noted contractor availability for hauling materials is limited (Ryan Reitzke indicated his crew cannot haul; Kelly Lyon and Levin's will be intermittent).
