Commission ratifies emergency repair on Spring Hill Road approach

County highway staff described emergency repairs to a concrete approach on Spring Hill Road where storm activity undermined the roadway edge and shot-rock armoring was displaced. Staff obtained an expedited quote from contractor J & H, which filled under the concrete with flowable fill, created a footer and relocked shot rock to stabilize the approach; the work started Monday and was completed in a few days.
Highway staff notified the presiding commissioner after the emergency work began, citing the risk if the concrete approach had collapsed. Commissioners praised the quick response and ratified the action with a motion to approve the associated 2025-2 road damage expense; staff estimated the contractor’s initial estimate at about $39,000 but said final invoice remained pending.
Ending: Commissioners approved ratification of the emergency repair and asked staff to provide the final invoice and documentation for the county record.
