The county roads would last a lot longer if they were repaired right! It does not matter if you pave or chip and seal, you must get the water to run off the edge and into the ditch for drainage. The county continues to waste our tax dollars trying to make repairs! Berm the edges, reshape the ditches where needed for correct drainage and put the crown of the road back in the center! Now you are ready to repair a road. Last year the county chip and sealed a road east of SR 29 to the Howard County line. This was done without any thought to drainage. This past winter water froze on the road creating a dangerous situation. The county then spent our tax dollars by sending a grader to that site to break/scrape the ice off the road. This looks like some very bad management. I think you might be chasing your own tail. Does it really take a certified engineer to figure this out? I don't think so. Get it together Carroll County Highway Department…..please!
