Staff member, a staff member, said a specialty crew is responsible for tasks that regular maintenance does not cover and for keeping newly built sections of roadway serviceable after construction.

“We're deemed a specialty crew. Anything else that maintenance doesn't really cover, we do. People see that as once construction's done, that road's done. No. Once that road's built and done, it's up to these guys and us to maintain that road to make that section of roadway last as long as possible,” the staff member said.

The remarks, captured in the meeting transcript, described an operational distinction between construction crews and the teams that perform ongoing upkeep. According to the speaker, the specialty crew handles work outside the normal scope of maintenance and takes responsibility for post-construction preservation to extend pavement life.
