Major Culverts Completed in Blackford County
From the Blackford County Council meeting on November 4, 2026
Blackford County's major culverts for 2026 are in place, a highway update told County Council Nov. 4.
The 500 East crossing reopened before its deadline and was headed toward a final walkthrough and financial closeout. Work on 600 East and 200 South was also reported complete. Culverts carry water beneath roads.
The update followed the Nov. 2 report that two county road structures were back in service, including Structure 04 on 500 East and Structure 106 on 600 East.
One possible additional culvert project remains on 200 East north of the county barn. The highway speaker said a contractor was preparing figures and RWE would pay for that work rather than the county. No project price was given.
A separate development update at the same meeting described Leeward applying the last calcium treatment on gravel roads in the Blackford Wind area after earlier stone upgrades.
