Submitting a Maintenance Request

The Lauderdale County Road and Bridge Department is committed to maintaining the safety, accessibility, and functionality of the county’s infrastructure. If you encounter any issues related to roadways or bridges, we encourage you to report them using our Online Issue Reporting Form. Our team will review your request promptly and take necessary action to address the issue.

Maintenance Services Available for Submission 

• Pothole Repairs: If you notice potholes that are causing road hazards or damage, submit a request for repair.
• Road or Bridge Damage: Report any damage to public roads or bridges, including cracks, surface deterioration, or structural issues that could pose safety concerns.
• Drainage Concerns: Submit requests for drainage-related issues, including clogged ditches, poor water flow, or problems with culverts that could lead to flooding or road damage.
• Debris Cleanup: If debris such as fallen trees, rocks, or other obstacles are blocking roadways or obstructing traffic, submit a request for prompt removal.
• Culvert Installation: Request the installation or repair of culverts to improve drainage and prevent road damage caused by water flow. New residents must first obtain a permit from the Lauderdale County Permit Office (INSERT LINK) before our department can proceed with installation. Once permit flags are in place, we will complete the installation.
• Gravel Road Grading: If gravel roads are uneven, poorly maintained, or causing access issues, submit a request for grading to restore proper surface conditions and drainage.

Tracking Your Request

Once you have submitted your request through the Online Issue Reporting Form, you can monitor its progress through the IWorq Citizen Portal. This portal provides updates on the status of your request, from submission to resolution, ensuring transparency and communication. You can check whether the issue is being reviewed, scheduled for repair, or has already been resolved.
