The Supervisors were told of problems on a gravel road (Indigo Avenue) from 180th Street to 200th Street, which is just east of I-35, between Swaledale and Burchinal. County Engineer Mary Kelly explained that confinement lots were hauling very heavy loads in semi-trcuks and causing damage to the roads. “80,000 lb. trucks,” she said. “Every year it’s getting worse. We can’t keep up with the repairs.” The Supervisors agreed to send the confinement owners a letter about the problem.
