The Roads and Bridges department serves residents by providing one driveway apron per parcel on the county road, if the line of sight distance requirement is met, at no charge to the resident. No other surrounding counties provide this service free of charge.
Installing road name signs on all roads, except within city limits, and other signage on County roads and at County facilities is also the responsibility of the Roads and Bridges Department.
Emergency services include removing trees that have fallen in the roadway, replacing damaged or missing Stop signs, and replacing failing culverts or bridges.
Other duties include assisting the Engineering department with reviewing the standards of newly constructed roads, providing technical assistance and operational support to other county departments for special projects and providing coordinated efforts with Emergency Management in responding to situations of inclement weather or natural disasters.
