The Road & Bridge Department maintains over 160 miles of County roads. Maintenance categories are defined as follows:
“Primary County Maintained Roads” means roads and connections carrying heavy traffic flow into and out of subdivisions and residential or commercial centers (including municipalities) in various sectors of the County. Primary roads can have either asphalt surface and/or gravel surface, and are graded and drained. Roads in this category may carry school bus traffic and mail routes, and receive first day snow removal service by the Public Works (Road and Bridge) Division.
“Secondary County Maintained Roads” are roads that may not meet vertical or horizontal alignment standards, and may not allow for the safe passage of two vehicles. Roads with this classification which are maintained on a year-round basis may expect snow removal on the second or third day, and may not receive snow removal with each snowfall; existing conditions may curtail secondary service in order to focus operations on Primary Roads. Some roads in this classification may have a seasonal maintenance classification with no winter maintenance.
“Schedule A Public Roads” are County roads and United States Forest Service (USFS) roads maintained pursuant to an agreement between the County and USFS.
A list of roads maintained by the Road & Bridge Department can be viewed by clicking Road Maintenance List and a map of maintained roads can be seen below. A more in depth description of snow removal practices can be found in the Snow Removal Policy.
