Roads Maintenance

Responsibilities

The Road Maintenance Division is responsible for protecting and maintaining 615.58 centerline miles of public roads, 125 bridges, and numerous major drainage structures in the unincorporated area of the county. The focus of this Division's program is preventative maintenance and the protection of the public's investment in its road system. This program is accomplished by an aggressive approach with emphasis on drainage, patching, and sealing of pavement surfaces and extensions of pavement life by placing a variety of seal-type coatings (chip, slurry, and emulsion) on existing surfaces.

Traffic safety is afforded through efforts to provide adequate visibility via control of vegetation by mowing and trimming in addition to an aggressive pavement marking and roadside warning and regulatory sign maintenance program.  Each of these activities assists the motorist's perception of roadway conditions.
