 Gravel Roads

Summer GradingThe goal of summer gravel road maintenance is to get and keep gravel roads in a reasonable safe driving condition relative to the character of the road and recent weather conditions.

The order in which roads are graded will depend on traffic volumes, structural condition of the road, and amount of gravel on the road. 

 

 

  • Gravel roads will be graded on average of every 2.5 weeks weather permitting.
  •  
  • High traffic volume roads will be graded more often than lower traffic roads.
  •  
  • High traffic volume roads will be graded first, if necessary, after rain.
  •  
  • Access and machinery roads will be graded at least once a year depending on time and road conditions.
  •  
  • Roads will be graded in an orderly fashion to maximize efficiency.
  •  
  • Operators will rip up dust control sections if, in their opinion, it represents a risk to the driving public.
  •  
  •  Repair of soft spots in gravel roads will be undertaken if funding is in place and when crews and materials are available. 
  •  
  • Grading on private property will not be done.   pdf Area Contractors (304 KB)  have asked to add their name for the landowner’s convenience.
