The Highway Department constructs and maintains all county roads, bridges and signs. We do snow removal and ice control during winter months. We also apply for and administer Federal funds for highway capital improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Requests for Service on Non-County highways?

We only have jurisdiction of some County gravel roads and County paved roads, the balance of roads in the County may be State of Nebraska, City or Village roads.

Why do you pull up shoulders of gravel roads?

We pull up gravel which has rolled down slopes and kill weeds which can become snow traps.

How often are dirt roads graveled?

Every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic.

Who is responsible for cutting the trees and grass in ditches?

Per Nebraska State Statute 39-308, it is the responsibility of property owners to remove trees, shrubs, bushes, and the link from within the public right of way. Additionally, Statute 39-1811 mandates that property owners mow their roadsides at least twice a year, in July and September. The lack of mowing creates several problems for roads, including snow traps, visibility issues, narrowing of the road surface, and large windrows when maintaining due to the grass and weeds.
