Roads

Our Mission

To construct and maintain county roads accepted by the Mohave County Board of Supervisors as County Highways, regularly maintained roads, or tertiary maintained roads, and to provide a safe and economical transportation system for the citizens of Mohave County.

Services and Scope of Operations

Mohave County's major source of funding for roadway maintenance is the State Highway User Revenue Funds (HURF). A small amount, approximately $150,000, is received from the Power Ball lottery.

Arizona Statutes A.R.S. 28-6705 is very specific regarding the maintenance of roads. Mohave County can only maintain a road to the standard at which the County received it, e.g. if it was a gravel road, we can only maintain it as a gravel road. We cannot improve a road unless it has been designated a County Highway. We do not engineer roads only maintain roads.

• Maintain 2094.54 miles of county roads (Paved: 831.41 Miles and Unpaved: 1263.14)
• Provide a safe transportation system
• Provide an economical transportation system

 Some of the "maintenance tasks" include, but not limited to:
