The traditional summer maintenance work will soon be underway for the County Highway department.

Highway Engineer for DeWitt County, Mark Mathon indicates they have a few areas of the County that will be targeted with seal-coating.

In addition to the seal-coating, there will be some work in the various townships of DeWitt County that the Highway Department will assist on.

As it relates to future County road construction, Mathon indicates one project they continue to keep saving for is a reconstruction of Weldon Springs Road. Mathon says that portion of the County receives heavy traffic because of the springs.

As county crews get set to begin the work when the weather breaks, Mathon asks motorists be mindful of their crews, slow down and drive cautiously.
