The Department’s mission is to provide managerial engineering
and technical expertise for 808 miles of County roads. The objective
is to provide the traveling public with a safe, convenient and
efficient network of highways and bridges. For the departments’ purposes,
we have divided the county into four sections. Each section has
a shop and the equipment and employees to service its roads. Each
section is also capable of performing equipment maintenance. One
section is equipped to perform major repairs on the departments’
equipment. In addition, the department has administrative and engineering
offices centrally located in the Civic Center.
This section is responsible for the management for the department
This section provides engineering services for the department to
maintain the county highway system. Functions and activities include
issuance of highway work and access permits, review of planning
board cases, highway and drainage design and construction engineering,
bridge design and construction engineering survey activities.
Also provided are the provision of technical services for highway
maintenance activities, preparation of right of way maps and acquisition
of right of way, litigation investigation and the oversight of
consultants for bridge design and highway, construction and construction
management contracts.
These employees provide for the maintenance of county roads, culverts,
shoulders and rights of way, as well as, the 210 bridges in the
county system. Cost information is kept for payroll, equipment rental
and materials on more than fifty activities through our activity
based cost accounting system.
This section is responsible for all of the maintenance to equipment
and buildings in the department.
The County of Onondaga is responsible for 802 miles of road within
its boundaries. The county receives an average of 122 inches (that’s
more than 10 feet) of snow annually. Snow removal is, therefore,
a major priority with us.
