Webster County Transportation Overview Roadways Webster County’s road system is comprised of approximately 1,181 miles of roadway and experiences the fourth largest daily vehicle miles of travel in the state. The Webster County Engineer is responsible for all secondary roads within the county including their planning, design, maintenance, and construction. Bridges Webster County maintains a total of 144 bridges, with approximately 37% classified as being in a state of poor condition— meaning that certain load-bearing elements have experienced damage or deterioration, although it is important to note that being in poor condition does not necessarily mean they are unsafe. The bridges undergo inspections either annually or every two years. Any structures deemed unsafe are required to be closed.

Although the railways are privately owned and within the jurisdiction of the Federal Railroad Administration, they are an economic asset to the county. Two major rail companies utilize the facilities located in Webster County: Union Pacific, and CN. Webster County is a major hub in the western portion of the state’s rail system, as seen on the state railroad map to the right.

Commuter service is provided by United Express Airline with daily flights. The airport is not located close to a railroad corridor, which may be seen as a drawback, but the presence of sanitary sewer and water mains enhances its potential as an air industrial park.
