Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division

Maintenance and Operations

The Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division is responsible for maintenance and repair of county owned roads. Our mowing crews clean and cut grass on medians and shoulders. Patch crews repair potholes and surface damage to asphalt roadways. We also maintain storm drains on many major roads and streets in the unincorporated areas.
