Highway department eyes culvert program

• improved county roads;
• a complete update of the county’s fleet of vehicles.
Next up? The county’s culverts.
“Our culvert inspection plan is non-existent,” Smith told the Noble County Council Monday afternoon. “Our goal at this point is to get better information.”
Smith did not ask for any funding, but he did make the council aware he was going to be making a six-figure ask to get the county’s more than 700 culverts cataloged and inspected.
Culverts are required at every point a regulated drain crosses a county road.
Currently, Smith said, the highway department budgets approximately $100,000 per year for work on culverts.
