LINCOLN COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) — In Lincoln County, the dirt roads are made of mud, thanks to the recent rains. In the small town of Midlothian, about seven miles south of Chandler, some residents are frustrated over the mess.
The county commissioner told News 4 this is going to be a problem for years to come.
“We need more gravel,” said Commissioner Marlon Miller.
You have to take the country roads extra slow. They are a sea of red dirt.
It didn’t take long for our News 4 crews to spot a sanitation worker stuck in the mud.
“The roads are super hazardous when they get wet because they’re not well maintained. So it does make it difficult for us to do our route out here sometimes,” said Sherral McVae, who got stuck.
Residents along CR 950 didn’t want to go on camera, but they told News 4 they’re frustrated with the mess.
Commissioner Miller said he understands. He also lives nearby.
He said the problem is money and supply.
