Road and Bridge

Mowing along county roads

The Road and Bridge department has suspended all mowing operation until further notice. There will be no mowing operations along any Garfield County roads due to the extreme fire dangers. Mowing along County right of ways in these dry conditions has a high potential to spark fires. While we do recognize the visibility at intersections can be challenging, we ask the traveling public to take extra precautions and realize the potential of sparking a fire is far greater in these conditions.
