Road Maintenance

Rehabilitation and Preservation Strategies

Spokane County maintains 2,694.70 miles of county roads. These roads consist of 10.93 miles of concrete roads, 167.58 miles of dirt and summer roads, 1037.79 miles of gravel roads and 1,478.40 miles of oil and paved roads.

The maintenance department is responsible for repairs and maintenance of the road system. Activities include snowplowing, sanding icy roads, street cleaning, filling potholes, resurfacing paved roads, grading and adding gravel to roads, clearing out drainage structures, trimming vegetation along the right-of-way, repairing missing or damaged traffic signs, restoring malfunctioning signals, and other miscellaneous tasks.

Activities are prioritized in a way that address potentially dangerous situations first, followed by regular repairs, then preventive maintenance as funds allow. To read more on the different type of road maintenance activities, please link to Road Maintenance Activities.
