ROAD AND TRAFFIC MAINTENANCE


The Road Maintenance Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of 1,600 miles of County roads. Functions of this Unit include the following:
Repair of roadway surfaces by patching and sealing; preventive maintenance and pavement life extension by placing chip seal costs; control of roadway vegetation by moving and herbicide spraying; re-grading shoulders; cleaning and maintaining roadside ditches, culverts, and storm drainpipes; street sweeping and removing roadway debris. Rural roadways that have deteriorated beyond the capabilities of normal maintenance repairs are reshaped and resurfaced to provide a new roadway surface.
The Unit maintains 277 bridges, 364 minor structures, 3 ferry landings, and numerous barricades and guardrails throughout the County. Roadway signage and marking activities include: fabricating, installing and maintaining traffic signs; painting centerlines and other traffic markings; and installing raised pavement markings. During winter and spring high waters, debris is removed from bridge supports. From November through the first week of January, the removal of leaves from the roadway takes place in urban areas. There are approximately 36,000 trees within the County road rights-of-way that are maintained to provide proper clearance for streetlights and vehicular traffic.
