The Road Commission’s primary concern is to keep the existing roads in drivable condition, the maintenance of which takes up the major part of our budget. The Road Commission will only take over a new section of road when we are given the right-of-way (80 ft width) and when it has been brought up to our specifications (paved) by someone other than the Road Commission. Construction on a county local road by law requires us to get 50% of the funds from an outside source—townships. If you are interested in having your private road upgraded and maintained by the Crawford County Road Commission (adopted into the local system of roads) the following links provide information on road specification requirements.
