County highway report flags 20 bridges in poor condition; paving scheduled Sept. 21

Interim Highway Administrator Jeff Germann presented the weekly highway report and distributed bridge inspection results from Kaw Valley Engineering showing 20 bridges listed as being in poor condition. Germann said crews repaired several trucks, completed a single pass of the pothole patcher across county asphalt roads, and installed pipes in several locations.

Germann told the Board that Shilling is scheduled to lay asphalt south of Green on Sept. 21. The report also listed localized work including installation of a tank car on 8th Road between Prairie Road and Quail Road, driveway extension work and cleaning out pipes. The Board did not vote on additional funding that day but discussed upcoming projects and the budget needed to cover them.
