General Responsibilities

• Construct and maintain 2028 miles of county roads with 751 miles of pave roads

• Provide a safe transportation system

• Provide an economical transportation system

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.

 

The Road Division under the supervision of Manuel Esquibel maintains 2,028 miles of roads of which 751 miles are paved.  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 can not improve a road unless it has been designated a County Highway.
