The function of the Road and Bridge department is to repair and maintain the existing county roads and rights-of-way promptly, efficiently, and economically.

Within this mission, the department is responsible for, but not limited to: pothole patching, milling and deep-patching operations in conjunction with LARP and county resurfacing contracts, rights-of-way mowing and tree trimming/removal/chipping, drainage ditch, shoulder construction and repair, application of calcium chloride to gravel roads, and bridge repair (as needed).
