With the upcoming winter storm, Road and Bridge will have crews out this weekend. The crews will work all day Saturday and into Sunday. Our section blade operators will be out running their sections from sunup to sundown. If need be, they will also be clearing Sunday as well. If you are planning on traveling on the county roads, please plan ahead for the existing road conditions and give our operators space. This is so they can complete their work safely and that all motorists remain safe during these winter conditions.
If you do NOT have to be out, STAY HOME AND STAY SAFE.
