County road commission duties include: - Road and bridge construction, repair and maintenance.
- Snow removal, salting and sanding.
- Surface treatments and chip and crack sealing.
- Street lane painting and marking and maintaining road signage.
- Ensuring steady and safe traffic patterns.
- Controlling roadside vegetation, mowing and brush cutting.
- Gravel road grading.
- Roadside ditch and drain maintenance.
A typical county road commission's equipment includes: - Excavating machinery, paving tools and backhoes.
- Tractors, mowers and street sweepers.
- Fleet of motor graders and single- and tandem-axle trucks for plowing, salting, sanding and grading.
