Secondary roads crews pause patching as weather hampers work; Sycamore concrete-box nearly done

Zach, the secondary‑roads official, updated the board that weather slowed recent contractor HMA patching work but crews have made partial progress. “We began HMA patching with a contractor last week,” Zach said, adding that wet weather left the project about half finished and that crews are doing PCC patching and hauling gravel while they wait for drier conditions.

Zach also described the Sycamore concrete‑box project as essentially complete: fencing has been installed and seeding applied. “It’s pretty much done done,” he said, noting crews will monitor the surface as it firms up. Supervisors discussed gravel usage and equipment choices for managing washboarding on gravel roads and agreed crews will continue to prioritize worst‑condition spots.
