County will upgrade High Desert railroad crossings
BNSF Railway, the San Bernardino County Public Works Department and the Town of Apple Valley are jointly participating in a project to upgrade the railroad crossing along Kiowa Road just south of Tussing Ranch Road. This project includes placing concrete panels across the railroad tracks in Kiowa Road that will provide a smoother surface resulting in decreased wear and tear on your vehicles. The project is scheduled for December 3, 2013. Kiowa Road must be closed up to eight hours for the work. A detour will be available on Tussing Ranch Road, Central Avenue and Roundup Way.
BNSF and the County Public Works Department are jointly participating in a second project, one that will upgrade the railroad crossing along High Road. This project also includes placing concrete panels across the railroad tracks on High Road to reduce vehicle wear and tear. This project is scheduled for December 2, 2013. High Road must be closed up to eight hours for the work. A detour will not be available.
For questions, please contact the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works yard at (760) 247-8208.
Additional snow removal map added to Public Works interactive maps website
The San Bernardino County Department of Public Works has launched a website of various interactive maps for the public to view current information about where county roads, flood control and solid waste facilities are located. The maps include Transportation Road Yards, the County Maintained Road System, Temporary Road Closures, Waste Disposal Site Locations, Flood Control Facilities, Flood Control Right-of-Way and Capital Improvement Project locations.
An additional map shows county residents what roads receive snow removal services from the Department of Public Works or County Special Districts Department. The snow removal website allows users to click on a road and receive detailed information about which county department to contact for snow removal.
The website address is http://sbcountydpw.maps.arcgis.com. Ninety percent of Public Works activities are within the county.
