Document Description
The Project consists of repairing asphalt materials on multiple segments of existing County roads. The work includes a combination of isolated pavement repairs followed by the installation of new asphalt surfacing. All projects will include corrective work (adding a thin course of granular material for leveling to minimize drop-off heights for overlays) to be performed on the shoulders of the roadways. No additional roadway capacity is added. Furthermore, all newly surfaced roadways will receive new traffic stripes and pavement markings. Efficient and responsive improvements and maintenance of the County road network will enhance the safety and security of the public by improving the access of pedestrians and the transportation infrastructure for the general population throughout the region. Construction is anticipated to begin during the first quarter through the second quarter of 2026. The Project will benefit users of the roadways.
