TORRINGTON – The Goshen County Board of Commissioners had a fairly short day at the Goshen County Courthouse on Tuesday, wrapping up its first meeting of the month after about an hour of discussion over upcoming road projects and accepting a handful of departmental reports from county leaders.
Interim Goshen County Road and Bridge Superintendent Val Hankins said the department is focusing on road maintenance until spring, when it will begin to work on larger projects.
“We’re just maintaining what we can,” she said. “It’s worse up north. We probably have a few machines up there just removing snow that has blown back in.”
Hankins reported Road and Bridge is gearing up to take on some if the issues with culverts around the county to fix long-term issues that have proven detrimental to the roads.
“That’s something we’ve needed to do for quite some time, so we’re taking the time to do that in preparation to hit the roads in the springs and get things fixed up,” she said. “Those will help us get the water off the roads and get the roads back to what they need to be.”
