Our Road Crew division oversees the maintenance of roadways, signs, and pavement striping within the County of Tulare's right of way. Right of way refers to the area where streets and sidewalks are located and are controlled by a public entity. The County of Tulare's maintenance of roads includes areas of the county that are outside of the city limits of the eight cities in the county. A major part of the Road Crew's maintenance work includes road overlays, isolated road repairs, pothole patching, shoulder maintenance, sign installation and repairs, and minor concrete work.
Working under the leadership of Chief Engineer Johnny Wong, there are nearly 140 Road Crew team members, including maintenance workers, traffic control workers, and heavy equipment mechanics. Together, this mighty team covers nearly 3,000 miles of roads within Tulare County's right of way.
Johnny has become deeply acquainted with the territory across Tulare County and has been committed to his role as a public servant in the County for 35 years, which he recently received recognition for. He draws from his extended experience to inspire the Road Crew teams assigned to four districts across the County to feel pride in the key role they play in maintaining County roads for communities and visitors alike, including on portions of roads heading up to Balch Park.
While the Road Crew team is spread out in their day-to-day assignments, they find a way to stay connected and are dedicated to ensuring Tulare County residents can get where they are trying to go, ensuring that road problems are assessed, and follow-up work is completed as needed.
