The summer construction season is here and the DeWitt County Highway Department is gearing up for their annual season of work.

Highway engineer Mark Mathon indicates they have several miles of road they will be doing the standard oil and chip to and then some gutter work in parts of DeWitt County.

According to Mathon, the County roads maintenance budget is very similar to that of most entities. They have a set amount and typically it does not fluctuate significantly.

Mathon says there will culvert on Connors Road this summer, which is likely the most significant work they have planned.
