GRAVEL ROAD MAINTENANCE El Paso County has more than 2,100 centerline miles of roads, half of which are gravel roads. Gravel roads are unpaved roads made of small rock, gravel, or other aggregate road surfacing material. The El Paso County Department of Public Works is responsible for the routine maintenance of 1,049 centerline miles of gravel roads. The El Paso County Department of Public Works is busy throughout the spring, summer, and fall with the maintenance and repairs of gravel roads, including grading, dust abatement, and graveling. Most gravel roads are maintained on a 6 – 8 week schedule. The Department of Public Works is currently working on creating a Frequency of Service schedule that will allow our citizens to see real-time data on when we last serviced their roadway and when they might expect the next service to occur. Our goal is to provide our citizens insight into the frequency of service for roadways of interest to them.
