Commissioners prioritize tube/bridge projects; road list tops 40 projects
Summary
County staff reported dozens of tube and bridge projects on the list — Story said 43 projects — and the board directed crews to focus on work that affects harvest traffic first; staff also noted equipment repairs (automatic semi in Salina) and backhoe issues.
County road staff told commissioners they are managing a lengthy list of tube and bridge projects and will prioritize those that affect harvest traffic. Assistant Road Supervisor Travis Story reported the project list currently includes 43 projects; commissioners asked that crews concentrate on areas that will affect fall harvest first.
Kevin Marcum and Story reviewed recent replacements and installations — including tubes installed where small bridges were removed — and reported further tube installations planned on DD Rd, 270 Rd and 170 Rd between T Rd and U Rd. Marcum also noted issues with a JCB backhoe; in separate discussion road staff said an automatic semi was in Salina for repairs.
