The Cloud County Board of Commissioners on April 13 approved a bid from PEC for a geological study for Bridge BR542 (Wagon Road) and adopted the county's road surfacing policy for 2026.
Rod Michaud, the county Highway and Weed Administrator, and John Markel of engineering firm Kirkham Michael described ongoing and planned work including the Wagon Road bridge project, bridge repairs on 50th Road south of Glasco, and tree work on Plum and Noble Roads. They noted increasing prices for road projects as a factor affecting scheduling and budgets.

On a separate motion by Commissioner Copple, seconded by Kearn, the Board unanimously approved the Road surfacing policy for 2026. The minutes do not record further contract awards or a project start date for BR542; the study approval advances preliminary work for the bridge project.
