FY2025-FY2030 Adopted Capital Improvement Program

FY2025 Adopted Budget Capital Improvement Program

Highways

Like most County departments, the Highway Department has seen a dramatic increase in the level of need for its services over the past decade. Most of the increases are due to a significant amount of growth in a relatively short period of time. The increased growth has caused an acceleration of the wear and breakdown of these roads. With normal use, a paved surface should last between 10-20 years. Currently, the County is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 1,302 centerline miles of roads. x Pavement Management Program - This program funds Roadway Surface Management System, Surface Coat, Patching, Overlay, Cold-in-Place Recycling, and Full-Depth Reclamation.
