The county approved a plan to resurface 58 miles of road, and the specific sections of road have been specified.

“This road paving list is built on degradation and risk assessment that has stayed the same for the past two commissions,” said Commissioner Russell Johnson, District 6. “Before the gas tax, a $480,000 federal highway grant was the sole source of funding for the county to resurface major and minor collectors. There has been no budget period for local roads in the last 30 years.”

The full description of which roads will be resurfaced or repaired follows.

A 2.51-mile portion of County Road (CR) 7707 will be resurfaced from U.S. Highway 231 to the Lockheed Martin main entrance.

A 7.1-mile portion of CR 2290 will be resurfaced and striped from CR 2262 to CR 2221.

A 4.2-mile portion of CR 3310 will be resurfaced and striped from U.S. Highway 231 to CR 3316.

A 3.34-mile portion of CR 3314 will be resurfaced and striped from CR 3318 to CR 3313.

A 0.96-mile portion of CR 3331 will be resurfaced and striped from Alabama Highway 125 to the end of the pavement.

A 0.96-mile portion of CR 5535 will receive a chip seal from CR 5513 to CR 5509.

A 3.97-mile portion of CR 2262 will receive a triple surface from CR 2290 to CR 2252.

The project totals more than $5.4 million, which will be borrowed by the county against the Rebuild Alabama gas tax funds over the next 15 years.

Commissioners said it was necessary to borrow funds to complete a large amount of resurfacing so that the county can catch up.

“If we had to wait for those funds to build up and pay as we go, we would never get caught up because we’re so far behind,” Johnson said.

Only 49 percent of the annual revenue is budgeted in the plan to debt payments, limited by the state’s Rebuild Alabama Act. The other half of the revenue will also be spent on a yearly basis.
