Jones Road Bridge Closure, Cohoctah Township

Posted: August 8, 2024
Beginning Monday, August 12, 2024, the Jones Road bridge between Oak Grove Road and Fisher Road will be closed.  MDOT performed an inspection and recommended the structure for closure.  The LCRC is currently in the design process and hope to secure funding for 2025 replacement.

 

What are the rules for placing political signs?

Each year, thousands of political signs line roadsides across the county.  Improperly placed signs create safety hazards and interefere with a drivers vision along roadways.  To maintain traffic safety, while affording office-seekers the opportunity to inform the public, the following rules govern the placement of signs:

  • Political candidates are responsible for obtaining approval from adjacent property owners to place their signs.
  • Signs shall not be affixed to or block any Road Commission sign or reflector.
  • Signs must be removed within 10 days following an election.
  • Signs should be a minimum of 15 feet from the edge of the roadway or back of curb.  Signs must also be placed so that they do not create vision obstructions at driveways, intersections, curves, etc.
  • Road Commission crews usually mow county roads on average 3 to 4 times per season.   Signs should be placed so that they do not interfere with mowing operations, especially at intersection corners.
  • Improperly placed signs may be removed by LCRC crews.  On the first offense, signs removed by the LCRC crews will be kept for seven days at a local LCRC office or maintenance garage before being discarded.  On the second offense and beyond, signs will be discarded immediately.
