What's news this week in Crittenden County...

Magistrates will revisit one of their biggest concerns when Crittenden Fiscal Court meets today (Thursday) – how to protect county roads from damage from heavy traffic. In October, the court took a long look at enacting a road warranty agreement with haulers utilizing county-maintained roads in order to hold them liable for damage from overweight transports. The concerns are not new, but as transportation funds shrink and the cost of repairing roads grows, magistrates are feeling the pressure to preserve the integrity of nearly 400 miles of county-maintained roadways.
