Why does the Road and Bridge Department work 10-hour days in the summer months?
This practice minimizes warm-up time, equipment wear from start-ups and shutdowns, and reduces travel to job site time. It also lends more continuity to ongoing projects and facilitates day planning better than the standard eight-hour day.

It is necessary to revert to the eight-hour day during the winter months to provide daily plowing and sanding services on all county maintained roadways.
