Summer 2020: Spargursville Road Repair

Many rural roadways are regularly in need of slippage repair. But Ross County was hit especially hard in late 2018 and early 2019 with a reported 20 roads impacted.

Three roads were closed, Blain Highway, Cooks Hill Road and Spargursville Road.

Blain Highway was repaired and opened last year. Spargursville Road was opened with one passable lane in 2019 at the area which caused the road to be closed.

Ross County Engineer Charles Ortman tells Litter Media Spargursville Road is slated for repair this summer. Crews were repairing another trouble spot on Spargursville Wednesday morning.

There’s no word on when Cooks Hill Road will officially open.
