County engineer reports on blacktop tree clearing and imminent Junction Road closure for pipe work

Winnebago County Board of Supervisors · September 9, 2026

Summary

County engineer Scott Meiners reported crews have cleared trees, worked on a box structure, and plan to close Junction Road this afternoon to begin pipe work; supervisors discussed signage and detour planning to minimize disruption.

Engineer Scott Meiners updated supervisors on secondary roads operations, including tree trimming along blacktops, completed box work, and an upcoming short closure of Junction Road for pipe installation.

Meiners said crews have been "working on clearing up trees on blacktops and cutting them way back and getting a good, hopefully, 10, 15 year cut back on them" and reported that equipment has moved into place for the Junction Road pipe project, which will prompt a temporary closure this afternoon. Board members asked about signage and detours; staff confirmed there is a barricade and signage indicating "road closed through traffic" and said the county will monitor turning and detour points. There were no motions or votes tied to this update; it was informational and operational in nature.
