County engineer flags diesel costs and ongoing road projects as winter approaches
Summary
Mitchell County staff reported a partially unfinished painting contract on Addison, ongoing measurements for no-passing zones, and concern about rising diesel prices that could raise winter maintenance costs; design work continues for next year—s road projects.
During the county engineer update, staff told supervisors a contractor has not yet finished painting on Addison and crews are still measuring no-passing zones.
"They had some things they missed on there, and we're still waiting to get them in," a county staff member (speaker 5) said of the contractor work. The county engineer (speaker 7) and staff said they are monitoring diesel prices closely, calling fuel a "big ticket item" that will affect winter costs and maintenance planning.
Officials said design work for next year—s projects is underway and the office is tracking bridge grant submissions (including a Little Cedar project and an Otranto-related submittal) to confirm award status. Staff plans to review files and follow up where grant outcomes remain unclear.
