Project Types
-
Capacity projects: As our community grows, some roads also need to grow to accommodate the additional vehicle traffic. Several county roadways have been in need of additional lanes or entrance ramps to enhance traffic flow and reduce congestion.
-
Rehabilitation projects: Our roadways are used by hundreds of thousands of vehicles each day. Due to this normal wear and tear, some existing roadways are in need of rehabilitation to provide the safest driving conditions and extend the life of the pavement.
