Operations Division: Road Maintenance

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The districts ensure the quality of the road surface, shoulders and right of way. This would include resurfacing the road, patching potholes, mowing and brush cutting along the right of way, maintaining the shoulders, grading and adding crushed rock to gravel roads, and cleaning out culverts and ditches.

Sod Removal:

Remove excess buildup of sod to restore proper drainage to roads expected to be resurfaced.

Grading Roadways and Shoulders:

Grade and shape gravel shoulders to level ridges, cut and fill holes and distribute existing gravel evenly over the surface.

Ditching:

Clean bottom of ditch to restore proper drainage. This is done to remove obstructions, sod buildup and excess deposits of sediments, leaving as much vegetation as possible.

Mowing & Brush Cutting:

Keeps roads safe by improving driver visibility and preventing vegetation from blocking drainage, reducing flooding, erosion, and accident risks.
